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.

Team members assisted Penrith MRT with a search for a male missing overnight in the Cross Fell area. After he was located, they assisted in walking him down to his destination
A couple became benighted while descending Rossett Ghyll. They were located by the team and escorted down
A man was reported overdue from a paragliding trip. His partner had located his vehicle in Grasmere but he was not with it. An initial hasty search was organised, followed by a more prolonged and complex search involving team members, search dogs, and a Coastguard helicopter. This was unsuccessful, and ended around 2am. A further search was planned and implemented at first light, involving team members from multiple other Lake District MRTs, and search dogs from the Lakes, England and Southern Scotland, with the man being found around 10:15am, seriously injured.
This weekend we have hosted a visit from the Norwegian People’s Aid (Norsk Folkehjelp). They spent a few days with us, sharing knowledge on methods, equipment and structures. They were also able to witness two rescues take place and assisted on the second. They also spent a day with Keswick MRT
