A couple and their young child were walking beside the river near Etherow Country park.  The path became indistinct and as they attempted to make their way out, they became stuck on some steep ground.  Unable to now go any further or get back, they called for help.

Kinder team responded along with Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue service.  The Fire service set up a rope rescue system and Kinder team members assisted to get the stuck family to safety.

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