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.

Casualty evacuation on the stretcher

A lady had injured her knee whilst walking on the Western Edge path of Kinder Scout, between Red Brook and Kinder Low End. We were able to locate her position through What3Words and Sarcall PhoneFind. We used a vacuum splint to stabilise the lady’s leg and then evacuated her to Edale Cross on our stretcher and wheel. She was well enough to sit on the back seat of our Landrover for the drive to base. Her husband was then able to take her to hospital in their car.

We wish her a speedy recovery.
