Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team (LAMRT) operates in part of the central Lake District, Britain's busiest mountain area.
Dealing with over 100 incidents per year, we are a self-funding dedicated team of 'professional volunteers' coming from all walks of life, united in their love of mountains and their wish to help their fellow mountaineers in trouble.
Do I have the right GEAR?
Do I know what the WEATHER will be like?
Am I confident I have the KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS for the day?
With snow still falling and roads blocked by this and abandoned vehicles, our assistance was required for further jobs including:
A reported MI
We were tasked to assist other emergency services when heavy snow hit the area.
During this period we dealt with various incidents incuding:
We were called to a woman who had slipped suffered a suspected shoulder fracture. We were en route when we were informed that she had been rescued by air ambulance
The husband of one of our recent casualties shared his experiences with us

We are delighted to be able to present plaques made by team member Chris Brammall, to Mo Richards, Geoff Bowen and Dave Barrington to recognise more than 50 years service each to mountian rescue.
In Geoff and Mo's case it's been with LAMRT. In Dave's case it's jointly with LAMRT and Rossendale Pendle MRT.
Team members joined the presentation via a video call to pass on their congratulations and best wishes
