The Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association is the umbrella body for mountain rescue teams in Cumbria (UK).
Teams are largely autonomous, but LDSAMRA coordinates the development of operational matters such as radio communications and insurance, as well as the day to day running of an efficient, voluntary rescue service. It also distributes to the teams any donations or legacies received and makes special allowances for major projects such as building extensions.
There has been a significant increase in the number of callouts involving walkers who have ventured onto the Lakeland fells ill prepared, ill equipped, and lacking experience.
Cumbria Tourism has supported the Lake District teams by helping to produce a 6 minute video which highlights these mountain safety issues. You can view the film by clicking the video image, or going to YouTube.
New - A 999 emergency text messaging service for the hearing and speech impaired. Text where you are and why you need help to 07786 208999.
