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?
We were requested to assist NWAS with a cyclist who'd crashed on Red Bank, with concern for ambulance access on the 30% gradient.
We were on route when we were stood down, reason "incident not as reported"
A man called for help using an emergency locator beacon, It was established that he had a fracture/dislocation of his ankle and was unable to continue.
He was treated by team members and evacuated by stretcher
A woman sustained an ankle injury on Bowfell. She was treated by team members and evacuated by Coastguard helicopter
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
