We will remember them

Lego Mountain Rescue Team. Remembrance Sunday. We Will Remember Them
Remembrance Sunday


Words can not convey the debt of gratitude owed to so many. So to all those who died fighting to protect their loved ones, those who served, those who still serve, and in peace time for all our domestic services of Police, Fire, Ambulance, Coastguard, Mountain Rescue, Doctors (Junior and Senior!), Nurses, Carers, First Responders, Charity workers, and all those who sacrifice even a small amount to improve or protect the lives of others... "Thank you".

Armistice Day

      CALLOUT: Missing Walker

      Lego Mountain Rescue Team. Night Search
      CALLOUT: The team have spent the night searching for a missing person. A walker had not returned home in the early evening, so the team were tasked to search a woodland thought to be on the route taken by the walker. The missing person was located by the team having fallen down a steep slope. 

      A very familiar story for many Mountain Rescue Teams.

            SAR-H Training

            This weekend the team have been training on the new Search and Rescue Helicopters - The Sikorsky s-92 operated by the Bristow Group. The team had a safety briefing covering the operation of the aircraft, entry and exit and (to the great excitement of those who got to experience it) winching.
            The team had a really great day and hope to see the S-92s in action with the team soon.

              Spring is here and it's time to get out and about

              Spring is here and it's time to get out in the fresh air. Like many of you some of the team have been out enjoying some climbing in the Block District. Even though the weather is good you can still get into difficulties out in the countryside. If you get in to trouble on the hill and need Mountain Rescue - Dial 999 ask for the Police and then Mountain Rescue.

                The wind is up

                We often have bad weather at this time of year and the advice "don't travel unless it's necessary" is always best adhered to! However, for the emergency services across the UK some 'everyday' journeys are still necessary, Police officers need to get to work, District Nurses need to complete their rounds, Fire crews need to be on duty, @CoastGuardTeam and @thelifeboatcrew need to get to their Lego® boats. You can always check your local weather, including weather warnings at http://www.metoffice.gov.uk before setting off.

                  CALL OUT: Missing walker

                  CALL OUT: The team were called to reports of a missing walker. The walker had left a route plan and schedule with her husband, who had notified the police when his wife had not returned home on time. 

                  The team were tasked to the last known location of the walker, where she'd left her car. Having worked up a search plan, the team deployed three hill units to search the most likely routes. This included a few 'common' areas where people often take the wrong path or turning.

                  It wasn't too long before one of the hill sections radioed back to base to say they were investigating a possible sighting not to far from the walker's planned route. The section made their way across a snowy ridge to find the walker who had become navigationally challenged due to the snow. She had tried to reach the top of a ridge in the hope of identifying more features, but had slipped and fallen in the snow injuring her arm and was beginning to get quite cold. The team splinted the ladies arm, wrapped her in a large warm casualty bag (like a furry sleeping bag) and evacuated her by stretcher back to a road head where they handed over care to the Lego® Ambulance Service.

                  The team made it back to base just before sunset and a cup of hot chocolate.
