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 asked to assist with a casualty who was in difficulties 1/2km beyond Kinder Reservoir in a wooded area. One member of the party had made it to The Sportsman pub on Kinder Road, Hayfield to raise the alarm. The party were from another continent and were visiting family in Hayfield, which meant we were unable to get a phone connection.

A team member quickly went to meet the informant to get better information on the casualty location and condition. However, the casualty had managed to walk off and was waiting at The Sportsman. They were very severely dehydrated and suffering from heat exhaustion. The Sportsman provided plenty of iced water and the casualty was assessed by a team medic and the team doctor. There were likely significant delays waiting for an ambulance and we assessed that the casualty was sufficiently well to go in a taxi with his family to A&E at Stepping Hill for a check up.

We hope he is sufficiently recovered to attend his family gathering at the weekend.

Kinder Mountain Rescue Team is staffed by volunteers who give their time free of charge and is funded entirely by public donations.
