KINDER MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM

 

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.

Along with Buxton MRT, Edale MRT, Glossop MRT and SARDA we were called to search the Kinder Plateau for a mountain biker who reported himself lost. Unfortunately his phone did not respond to our attempts to locate him so we implemented our Kinder Plan – the four mountain rescue teams and search dogs searching pre-defined areas of the plateau. Fortunately, the biker moved location and got a phone signal, allowing our Sarloc system to pinpoint his location at the top of Sandy Heys. Glossop MRT were able to get to his location and guide him off the hill.
