Phil Kirby

Joined the team in 2012 and currently team chairman. Now retired and enjoying quality time out on the fells, when family and team commitments allow. Walking, running, photography, rescues, anything that gets me out and about

MR has played a part in my life since my first fell walk when on a school outing a member of our party slipped and sustained quite bad injuries. The team treated him and got him off to hospital.

Andy Caple

Retired (early) from teaching and fire & rescue and is really pleased they wanted an old chap to supplement the youth on the team. Moved to the lakes in November 2010. Loves anything active, classic motor sport and grandchildren. Team Secretary and Deputy Team Leader.

Mark Bains

Mark is Development Manager for the Grasmere-based Wordsworth Trust. He joined the team in 2007, and became Secretary and team bureaucrat in 2008 after making the mistake of admitting to owning his own pen. A letter from Mark was an event to remember and cherish. Mark is now Team Chair, but he is still using the same pen. He is also a Swiftwater Rescue Technician. When in the water he chooses a pencil.

Dave Barrington

Dave runs his own Management Consultancy business. A former Team Leader of Rossendale and Pennine MRT, Dave joined our team in 2001. Dave has around 50 years experience in mountain rescue. He's also our Treasurer and looks after the teams merchadising and fundraising events.
