Lake District Mountain Rescue Teams
In all weathers they turn out. The volunteers of the Lake District Mountain Rescue Teams have to be fit and able to stretcher injured walkers and climbers to safety.

Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team
Wasdale MRT has its base in Gosforth village and works very closely with the Eskdale Outward Bounds Schools rescue volunteers. It includes Scafell and Great Gable in its area of rescues.
Current Team Leader is Julian Carradice. Their latest annual report for 2000 recorded WMRT dealing with 56 incidents (1 fatal a diver in Wastwater, 13 injured, 5 medical, 8 cragfast or stuck, 24 lost or reported overdue and five others.)
In his latest report Mr Carradice heaped criticism on the use of mobile phones by people who should be better prepared for the fells. He said: "The team get a lot of calls from people who claim to be lost or stuck. The use of mobiles to report accidents clearly assists in reducing our response times but in far too many cases people are merely using them to summon MRT assistance instead of using their map, compass and common sense to get themselves off the hill. Many times people haven't had a clue where they were. Groups even with GPS etc preferred to ask us for assistance. '' More details of the Eskdale-Wasdale area and accommodation.
