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.

KMRT gets back to hands-on rope rescue training

The team have been able to undertake a very limited number of necessary face-to-face training sessions during the last 12 months; these are conducted using the bare-minimum number of team members with suitable COVID19 – compliant PPE with safety and decontamination measures in place.

‘Core Skill’ training is an essential requirement for the team to be able to remain effective and offering an efficient rescue service.

Today was the first time, since the latest lockdown commenced, that team members were able to carry out some practical core ropework skills.  Split into two separate small cohort groups, members were able to get ‘hands on’ with kit and practiced a number of techniques required for steep ground rescue work.
