Hello Thank you for the rendition of Happy Birthday, it warmed the cockles of my heart; a useful tool in combating the hypothermia. I felt very rescued and have no more desire to jump puddles for fun. I do believe it should be categorised as an adrenaline sport, alongside base jumping perhaps. I must say you were all fantastic and I will annoy people with my puddle jumping story until they donate large amounts of money to your cause. You totally deserve it, you were amazing. The paramedics were also great I am sure they felt as happy as I did when you arrived. Thank you for the ride in the giant wheelbarrow. Combined with the effects of the morphine and the gas and air I must say it made up for not being able to drink on my birthday. - Pam Roberts on Stake side, Goyt valley
Thanks for rescuing this person - she is a valued member of staff at Stockport School. We'll raise some money for you next term! She will have loved the singing as she teaches drama! - Karl Roberts on Grindsbrook Gorge, Edale
The common sense of some people astound me. I had taken my 8 year old for her irst day out in the hills and the weather was that bad we actually walked off the hill at mid-day. to my astonishment two men were walking up Jacobs Ladder dressed in training shoes, 3/4 length trouser ands sweatshirts carrying nothing else. One of the men asked me "which way to the waterfall"? I tried to explain that the weather was appauling on top of Kinder scout but they just carried on. When will people learn and be responsible and not put other people in danger! - Nancy Hollingworth on Cales Dale, Monyash
Just to say a massive thank you to your team for not only helping me up to the air ambulance but also ensuring that my children were brought to hospital. Everyone involved was so kind and professional. I have a fractured ankle and am waiting to find out whether I am to stay in a cast or will need an op. If I had tried to walk out of the dale it would almost certainly have been the latter. Your help that day will hopefully mean that I shall avoid an operation-good for me and the health service! A huge thank you again. - Malc Needham on A special service from Macclesfield students
Great work Fi. Its important that we are seen in the community like this, (similar event to what we did in our college a couple of weeks ago.) - Paul Gratton on Ramshaw Rocks, Staffordshire
I was that 50 year old male - thanks for reminding me about my age! I would just like to say a massive thank you for carrying me off the hill - particularly as I am 6'5" and not that slim! It turns out I had dislocated my knee and in the process ruptured my Cruciate, torn the medial, damaged both cartilages and had a compression fracture of my fibula. That said I am having surgery this week to reconstruct the ACL and hopefully will be on the hills again before too long. Thank you so much to Neil and Kerry (whose names I think I remember) and everyone else involved and really sorry I didn't fall over earlier on Hens cloud as I sem to recall you could land helicopters there and that would have saved you the effort of lifting me down! Fantastic job guys - well done and for ever grateful. Paul - Gordon Gibbons on Stanage Edge
Treatment at the scene from a doctor from Woodhead Mountain Rescue, who was climbing nearby at the time. - Nick Smith on Pease Hill, Ripley
Hi Martha, Thank you for your message, I'm just so pleased we were able to help. I love working with Zak and it made every minute of our training worthwhile when we found Barbara (Zak was especially pleased because he got a nice juicy bone as a reward that morning!) We wish your Grandmother a speedy recovery and our Best Wishes, Regards, Nick & Zak - Nick Smith on Reliant Robins raise £4,200
What a fantastic fund-raiser! Well done! - Martha Allen on Pease Hill, Ripley
Dear Nick and Zak On behalf of my family and I, we wish to thank you with all our hearts for your fantastic efforts that night. The Mountain Rescue Team is a great organisation, and without your help the outcome may have been very different. You really are heros in my eyes. Thanks guys. Martha Allen (Grand Daughter to Barbara Allen) - Nick Smith on College students support BMRT
did we get the cd's back? lol - Team Rambler on Chinley to John O’Groats in a Reliant Robin!
They certainly did! Both cars arrived at John O Groats just ten hours after leaving Chinley. That an average speed of 50 mph for the 500 miles. More to the point their fundraising has broken expectations and now stands at over £4,000 for each charity. Full story soon. - Nick Smith on Chinley to John O’Groats in a Reliant Robin!
anyone know if they got past Manchester? - Nick Smith on Linacre Woods, Chesterfield
Brilliant! Well done Meg and Dave! Makes all that training well worth it - Janice Probert on Treak Cliff Cavern, Castleton
I am the lady from Caerphilly referred to above. I would like to take this opportunity of thanking everyone concerned for their help and assistance. It was greatly appreciated. I sustained a double fracture which required pinning and a plate being inserted into my ankle. It shows how easily things can happen even when wearing the proper shoes, etc. Thanks again to everyone concerned and best wishes for the future. I hope you are not too busy with call outs. - admin on Stanage Edge
Well then, it sounds as though you and any others actively involved are due a big thank you for the assistance rendered. Its all a joint effort. BMRT Web Team - Climber on Stanage Edge
Wasnt just rescue team members who passed the stretcher down the hill. Climbers, assemble! - Nick Smith on Team member wins international qualification
Well Done Rob! Well deserved - JERRY MIDDLETON on Mam Tor, Castleton
JENNIFER, GLAD TO HEAR YOUR MUM IS OK AFTER HER FALL.( BY THE WAY, I WAS THE MAN FROM KINGS LYNN, NORFOLK AT THE SCENE ). WISH HER ALL THE BEST WHEN YOU NEXT SEE HER. - Jennifer Hall on Mam Tor, Castleton
Many, many thanks to all those involved today, especailly to Kerry who kindly drove us back to Stockport. Mum (who is 70 by the way-think the Entonox confused her!) is currently waiting to be seen at SHH but was pain-free when I left her. She wants me to send her grateful appreciation to all those involved and apologises that her legs weren't shaved!!
