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.

We were contacted by both Greater Manchester Police and the PDMRO Duty Controller with reports of a couple lost high on Kinder Scout in the Sandy Heys area. They were cold and anxious, but otherwise unhurt. A PhoneFind message gave us their location and we sent a couple of hill parties up the mountain to assist them. Once warmed up they were walked back down and taken to their car at Bowden Bridge.
