provides search and mountain rescue services under the control of the Police. KMRT is based in Hayfield, in the Peak District. Over ten million people visit the Peak District annually and many of those come to see sights such as the Kinder Downfall and wander around the Kinder Edges. They might also see the volunteers of KMRT responding to a callout or training. We rescue hikers, climbers, fell runners, mountain bikers and the occasional sheep from the wild and high places of the Western Peak district as well as urban searches to assist police in looking for missing people.
