We have also had four previous recent membership enquiries;

- The other two enquiries relate to a very long experienced male member of a colleague MRT in Cumbria, now moved down to this area, and a female Accident and Emergency Nurse.
All the above have indicated previous experience within the hills and mountains, as walkers, climbers, mountaineers and other outdoor interests.
All interested parties are invited to submit their on line initial application form soonest.
Interested applicants are advised to gain an insight in to the day to day affairs of the team by viewing our daily website ‘News’ features, which will give an idea of the commitment and dedication required to be an operational team member.
