The setup by the CMT guys was incredible. They were running three pits:

1. Unlimited time - Challengers had no time limit to extract a patient. Use of TR/ET RAR gear.
2. Rapid Pit - 10 minute time to extract a non-responsive critical patient. Use of standard pump RAR gear.
3. Limited Pit - 20 minute time to extract a patient without the use of hydraulic cutting gear. No hydraulic gear, battery operated only.

And to keep with the trends the boys from up your way took the awards for all scenerios, took best team leader 'commissioner' award, and even the medic from up that way took out the best medic 'commissioner' award. An incredible team.

Thanks Michael.... you should come down sometime, always something happening.

I just chatted with the area director for up here tonight and he just gave me the go ahead to do a bit of a shoot in station 11, and I spoke to a few of the fellas that were in the team that competed as well.

I was also hoping to get the low down on what was happening with burning off of the range escarpment tomorrow near picnic point, but they said thats all council run unfortunatly im out of the loop with the council.

I will have to come down again one day mark I still owe you some beers.
