@Bigalpilot We were training indeed, however, we did end up getting a shout not too far away that day.

You may have taken shelter in Greg’s Hut after coming off a blustery Cross Fell, along the Pennine Way. It now needs to undergo major reroofing to continue to offer refuge to walkers for many years to come. Can you contribute to its fundraiser? https://t.co/2tgQtdCfIH

#Cumbria Police have issued a plea to people to 'stay home as much as possible' and exercise locally after a member of a #MountainRescue team was seriously injured during a callout to a #LakeDistrict fell. https://t.co/OVkns7Nlh2

Please stay safe and stay home. We’ll see you again soon. An avoidable incident on the fells has left an experienced member of @patterdaleMRT mountain rescue team in a serious condition in hospital, our thoughts are with the team member and everyone affected. #StayHome

[Mountain Rescue England and Wales @MountainResqUK]

@groughmag @patterdaleMRT Our thoughts are with everyone involved - MR team members from across the Lake District, the family and friends of the injured rescuer and all his team colleagues at @patterdaleMRT

Due to public safety we have cancelled our annual Christmas Eve collection in Penrith town.

Instead we have created an online fundraiser on our Facebook page, head on over and help keep our Team operational for another year!
Thank You!

Team Training

The Team had a high level exercise carrying large amounts of rope and equipment, to the top of Bleawater downfall, high above.
The Team created anchors by driving steel stakes through the snow into the ground and lowered Team members over 250 metres down the crags.

Our thoughts go out to the friends and family of Hamish.

The Final Ascent: The Legend of Hamish MacInnes is still available on BBC to watch for the next few days. This is a great insight into the life Hamish led.
