Diary of a mountain rescue Team Member

Welcome to the Kinder Mountain Rescue Team diary. The idea behind running a diary is to give you an insight into what it is really like to be in a Mountain Rescue Team. Life in the team varies dramatically. At times it can be very exciting, with helicopters and blue light vehicles. At other times, there can be a lot of standing around in the rain. In among this we have to fit in training sessions, exercises and team meetings. The commitment to being a team member is demanding for both the individual and their family. But we all gladly give up this time to help those in difficulties in the mountains.

So if you are intrested in finding out what the team has been up to or are thinking of joining and want to know what it is really like to be in the team: read on! In fact, if you have ever been rescued by the team, why not send in your version of events and I will include them.

Anyway, here is the diary for 2008:
