What we charge for a rescue
Before you go
Advice from the people who come to find you
Most of the people we help are just unlucky or are caught out by circumstances. Their day ran longer than planned, the weather turned, or they slipped. Tell someone your route and when you’ll be back. It’s the first thing we ask.
