Saving lives in wild and remote places since 1971

Please Support Us

Kinder Mountain Rescue Team (KMRT) has been in existence since 1971, and is one of seven mountain rescue teams that operate within the Peak District National Park, as part of the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation (PDMRO).

Our 50 members operate on an purely voluntary basis and are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to assist members of the public on the hill or in urban search and rescue situations.

We are almost exclusively funded by public donations, and all proceeds from fund raising go towards equipment and resources used on our call outs.

08: Callout – Sunday 28 February 2021

We were called to locate two female walkers who were lost in the dark and believed to be in the Kinder Reservoir area. Their location was identified using the PhoneFind technology which uses the GPS within a smartphone to send us their grid reference.

Two hill parties were despatched to their location where they were found safe but very cold. They were taken down to our vehicles at the filter house and transported to Bowden Bridge where relatives were waiting.
