The team were called following a report that a paraglider had been seen from near Buxworth. There was a concern that they may be in distress, and our assistance might be required. We started initial planning while the Police requested assistance from NPAS (the Police helicopter). Just over an hour later we were advised that the Police were satisfied with the air search that had been conducted, and we would not be required to deploy.

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