Events calendar

Talks, Scout and school visits, race and show cover and fundraising by Woodhead Mountain Rescue Team: the last 12 months and what is coming up.

Mountain rescue is more than incidents. All through the year our volunteers give talks, welcome Scouts and school groups, provide safety cover at races and shows, and fundraise across Barnsley, Sheffield, Kirklees and the Peak District. This page updates itself every night from our team diary.
