Menai Bridge

We meet weekly in our hut on an island (accessed by a narrow bridge) in Menai Bridge.

Our meeting night is Wednesday 19:30hrs for 2 hours and ad hoc days, usually at weekends, for longer courses.

We are of course based on the Menai Strait described by Admiral Horatio Lord Nelson as ‘one of the most treacherous stretches of sea in the world'. There are other dangerous stretches around Anglesey notably The Skerries.

As such we are planning an increased co-operative association with the Search & Rescue Unit at RAF Valley, the RNLI stations around Anglesey but especially with Beaumaris, and with the Coastguard, UK Borders Agency / Customs and Police. We hope to carry out some join exercises in the coming year, boats and equipment permitting.

Head of Unit: Alan Hughes.

Deputy Head of Unit: Giles Pepperell (email or 07710 294691).
