Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team

A pleasure to have you with us!

David's fundraiser for Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team Help David Cromack raise money to support Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team

#RunningPunk Dave Cromack is fund raising for @hvmrt.bsky.social after they helped him out after a bad offy last year.

He's cycling 100km and, as if that wasn't enough, running the York Marathon on the first anniversary of the accident. Superhuman and a good human.

Thank you! 🙏🏼

#RamadanMubarak to all of our community who begin observing the holy month of #Ramadan. We hope for peace both here, and across the world.

Happy #StDavidsDay to all our Cymraeg colleagues across Mountain Rescue England & Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿. HVMRT has always sought to foster closer bonds between MRTs across the MREW organisation, and in Scotland. Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus.

Two back to back training sessions today for HVMRT, again simulating a call out, to treat and extricate a casualty who had fallen from height. Snow, wind and bitterly cold temperatures really tested our mettle.

#HappyValentinesDay to all our supporters!

Cold, windy, and wet, but a great insight to the mechanics of a full team call out. Four exercise casualties located and treated.

**EXERCISE CALL OUT***
HVMRT shall be heading out from our #Marsden base on an exercise call out, designed to replicate at call out scenario, to practice drills and show our new recruits what happens on a “job”.
You may see heightened activity in the Holme and Colne Valleys.

As ever, the community spirit was invaluable, with a local farmer assisting with his quad bike, and a colleague from Woodhead MRT arriving to bolster numbers. The casualty was brought to the waiting #Ambulance for treatment and onward progress to hospital. 2/2

HVMRT were called out for the 8th time in 2025, yesterday, when we assisted Yorkshire Ambulance Service with a casualty near Hartshead, Kirklees. Having injured their leg in a difficult to reach spot, our personnel and medics joined YAS paramedics to treat and extricate the casualty. 1/2

A teenage girl had come off a playground ride, hurting her neck in the impact. Whilst medics treated her, an off duty Yorkshire Ambulance Service Paramedic offered to help. The girl was warmed up, immobilised and treated for pain, later being transferred to an attending #Ambulance. 2/3

Today, at Xscape Yorkshire, HVMRT had a great time meeting the public at our stall. Shortly before packing away, we were made aware of an accident outside, which two of our Remote Rescue Medics and other team members attended. 1/3

Tomorrow, you can meet members of HVMRT in #Castleford at Xscape. Come to see our vehicles, kit and ask anything you want!

HVMRT convened today at our #Marsden HQ for an hour-long session, bringing together the main aspects of Group Leadership and casualty site management, then proceeded to Pule Hill to put it in to practice. The first full Sunday training session for our 2025 trainee cohort too!

An amazing run from Kev, we are all so proud of him.

Kev 921 is a few km south of #Malham but unfortunately Mel, and her husband John, have had to retire after an arduous slog up Black Hill into our MRT area. An amazing feat regardless, tabbing from Edale over two (almost three) mountains in deep snow and ice. Great work all!

Three HVMRT team mates are running the Montane Spine Race South MRT Challenger course, from #Edale to #Hawes tomorrow. Dot watch them here:

HVMRT assisted a casualty get from their house to a waiting Yorkshire Ambulance Service crew today, in Marsden, as icy conditions continue to hamper access across the region.
Everyone in the team wishes the patient a quick recovery and a happy new year.

This afternoon, HVMRT Remote Rescue Medical Technicians assisted Yorkshire Ambulance Service in #Huddersfield with the treatment and extrication of a patient from their house, in difficult snow conditions. Now that roads are clearing, our crew at HQ has disbanded, but all remain on call.

Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team Help me spread the word about Holme Valley Mountain Rescue Team. Together, we can make a difference.

It costs in excess of £50k per year to keep the team afloat, and that’s before paying for repairs, improvements, new kit and consumables.

with Calder Valley SRT and Woodhead MRT to cover the northern areas of WY, and South Yorkshire and Peak District. Mountain Rescue is #MoreThanJustMountains 2/2

HVMRT personnel live across our region (the southern half of West Yorkshire, inc. the SE half of Leeds) and are preparing to assist emergency services in their local areas, not just Marsden and the Pennine moors. Some are even on joint call-out lists 1/2

This morning, the team assisted Yorkshire Ambulance Service in #Marsden during the #uksnow when a local person took ill, but whose house was cut-off by deep drifts. The team sledged them in our stretcher to a waiting crew. Everyone wishes them a speedy recovery.

HVMRT currently have our #Marsden HQ crewed to assist during the current spell of #uksnow following the @metoffice.bsky.social snow warning. ❄️ ⚠️ We stand ready to assist emergency services.

A fresh day out, with temps only just above 0°C at the warmest. Great work by all our potential recruits some of whom, this evening, will be having phone calls to invite them to train with us in 2025.
