  • 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.

Our closing date for applications is now fast approaching.
