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.

A woman in a party of two suffered a suspected sprained ankle which led them to make very slow progress. They called for help and we were able to meet them and drive them the final kilometre or so of the hill
Team members returning from the previous incident encountered a woman who had slipped on ice and sustained a suspected ankle fracture. We assisted her with treatment and evacuation to her vehicle for transport to hospital

With many of our team away training in Scotland, we were particularly grateful for Kendal MRT assistance
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
