Where fell running meets winter mountaineering 🏔❄️⛏🏃‍♀️👍 Baltic, windy, snowy, brilliant day running on the Kentmere fells. Didn’t see a single soul all day. A real privilege.

Ambleside floods 🌊⛑🚑⛔️ @langdaleamblesidemrt Mountain Rescue driving slowly through flooded road at Rothay Bridge. Lots of flooded and stranded vehicles. Waters slowly receding now, but delay travel a few hours yet! - #ambleside #flooding #StormCaira #BeAdventureSmart #LakeDistrict #CumbriaRoads #Cumbria #mountainrescue #rothay

Could have listened all night. Privileged to hear speeches from Geoff and Mo, founder members of LAMRT, on the teams 50th anniversary meal, about their memories of the early years of the team. - Two messages rang out strongly; - 1) Thanks. Even though this was an evening of quiet introspection, the team is nothing without the support of our families, friends, employers, and the local community. The focus of the 50th celebrations this year is more about thanking and better involving those who support us. - 2) Change. Some inevitable, some good, some for the worse. The ‘job’ has evolved hugely, and many faces have changed, but one thing remains constant; the desire to go to that call for help from a person in their hour of need in our beloved mountains. - And then the new Top Trumps cards were unveiled, with caricatures of team members. Brilliant! Here’s to the next 50 years, and my knees holding up for as many of those as possible 🍺🏔⛑🚑⛏🚁 - #lamrt50 #lamrt #mountainrescue #ldsamra #50anniversary @langdaleamblesidemrt #lakedistrict #cumbria
