2016 DINPI Föld Napja rendezvény
Egyesületünk bemutatására és ezen keresztül a barlangok és a barlangjárás szépségeinek megismertetésére kiváló alkalom a Duna-Ipoly Nemzeti Park Föld Napja rendezvény a Pál-völgyi-kőfejtőben. Ide 4 éve kapunk meghívást melynek szívesen teszünk eleget.
A rendezvény főleg egy civil forgatag, ahol a berendezett standunkon az érdeklődők megfoghatják, kipróbálhatják eszközeinket.
Idén is készültünk kőzet bemutatóval, barlangi élővilágról ismertetővel és a barlangász „csomózdában” együtt bogozhattuk a köteleket. A feladatokat sikeresen teljesítők a tízpróba keretében pecsétet kaptak és a Nemzeti Park ajándékait vehették át.
Idén először mászófallal színesítettük az eseményt, előző években a sziklafalon mászhattak a résztvevők. A nagy érdeklődést rendszerint a kígyózó sor mutatja.
V4 Cave rescue practice in Poland
Between 28.10.2015 and 30.10.2015 was hold a cave-rescuer meeting in Zakopane, Poland. Beside the organiser local rescue organisation (Tatrzańskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe - TOPR) took part the Czech, the Slovakian and the Hungarian cave rescuers (the “V4 countries”), altogether 25 people.
Our accomodation was in the rescue basis of TOPR. That is a 4 staged building in Zakopane, which is also an operative centre, an equipment store and a preparation basis at the same time. In the underground store there is a great amount of rescue equipment, which is completely changed at least in every two years.
In the base level is the operative centre, here is a mountainy rescuer group waiting for the alarm round-the clock. At a few hundred meter distance from here there is a helicopter base, where two helicopters are ready to be used for rescue. In the Tatra-hills there are 1500-2000 accidents yearly, most of them are ski-accidents, and avalanches.

Deadly accident in the cave of Csengő, Slovakia
The Hungarian Cave Rescue Service received a call out on the 6th of November, 2015, Friday afternoon that an accident happened in Csengő pothole (Bell-cave) lying in Slovakia Plešivecká plateau (near Roznava). Three Hungarian individuals (industrial alpinists, who did not have the technical qualifications for vertical caving) descended into the cave without official permit and not under organized circumstances. They allegedly wanted to spend more days in the cave.
The pothole starts with a large, hundred-meter deep vertical shaft, where a larger ledge can be found at-60 meters. The bottom of the cave is a vast, fragmented gallery.
Descending, Mr. B.G. (36 years old) went first, installing the ropes in the cave. Halfway through the shaft on the ledge (supposedly due to saving some rope) he did not install a belay line and walked through the ledge without any belay.
Cave Rescue Exercise in Királyerdő (Transilvania - Romania) supported by the National Cooperation Fund (NEA) Hungary
Hungarian Cave Rescue has broad international connections and regional cooperation is an important part of it. This created the framework for a joint cave rescue exercise held in the region of Királyerdő (Munții Pădurea Craiului - Romania), in the Páfrányos cave (Pestera cu Ferigi) between the 16th and the 18th of October, 2015. The exercise was conducted with Serviciul Judetean Salvamont - Salvaspeo Bihor and Hungarian Cave Rescue participating.
From Hungary, the Bakony Cave Rescue was represented by 2 persons, while the North-Hungarian Cave Rescue was represented by 1 person, as both services were invited to the event. The exercise, as a project, was financed by a tender of the National Cooperation Fund 2015.
Sometimes real-life accidents create circumstances, where cave rescue services are faced with challenges that are best dealt with in international cooperation.

Siklóernyős mentés Pásztó közelében
2015. július 11-én szombaton délután 2 órakor L. László siklóernyős a Pásztó település mellett lévő Nyikom starthelytől északra sikertelen leszállás során fára szállt le az Ördög-ároknál. László a fennakadt ernyőével kb. 15 méter magasan lógott egy cseresznyefán. Először a barátnőjével beszélt telefonon, aki egy másik, a starthelyen tartózkodó siklóernyőstől (János) kért segítséget.
Mivel a fennakadt ernyősnek nem volt GPS-e, először egy alkalmazást kellett letöltenie, amivel meg tudta adni a pozícióját. János egy helyi quadossal felderítette, hogy hol lógott László. Négy óra előtt 10 perccel kaptam a riasztást telefonon Adamkó Pétertől, majd köteleket, csigát, motorfűrészt és ágvágót raktam össze és felvettem Pataki Dénest.
