Event: Brighton Marathon 2021, on 12 September 2021
Kinder MRT is launching a campaign to fund the replacement of one of our rescue vehicles - essential to provide time-critical, on- and off-road mobility to get casualties safely and rapidly off the hill.

Story

Mobility is critical in Mountain Rescue; without effective transportation rescue teams would struggle to reach casualties in a timely manner or to get them safely and rapidly off the hill. Kinder Mountain Rescue Team currently has three vehicles with 4-by-4 capability, although only two of them are capable of traversing the worst terrain such as the old drover's track from Hayfield up to Edale Cross or entirely off-road; these of course are Land Rover Defenders, now getting very long in the tooth (Registered 2000 and 2004). As part of its resilience planning Kinder MRT has to look to the day that one of the vehicles eventually fails and has to be replaced, with the cost of a new, fitted-out off-road vehicle being in the region of £85,000. Consequently Kinder MRT is launching its 'replacement vehicle fundraising campaign' with the aim of raising enough money to substantially, or entirely, pay for a replacement vehicle when the time comes.
