Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team operational area hosts the Pennine Way & Coast to Coast walk. There are 9 tops over 600m with Great Shunner Fell been the highest in the area at 716m (the 3rd highest in Yorkshire) and many more just below. The team operate 24/7 365 days a year to provide search & rescue both above ground & below in the vast array of natural caves & historic lead mines. The traditional role of Mountain Rescue Team in England & Wales of searching for over due walkers has evolved over the last 10 years. Now over 90% of our incidents are to treat & rescue injured persons from a know remote or difficult location. In some areas the increase in mobile phone coverage has assisted in the faster response of teams, however in the upper areas of Swaledale mobile phone reception is still to arrive…. The teams ‘work load’ is broken down below:
