Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. MOUNTAIN rescue in the United Kingdom is a voluntary service. Mountain rescue team members are 'on call' through the 999 system 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. They are as likely to leave a warm bed in the wee small hours to rescue an injured climber on some blizzard-blown crag, as hunt the grounds of your local nursing home in search of someone's missing granny. They're a dedicated bunch. And dare we say it, a breed of their own. Mountain Rescue takes a look at the service in its entirety, from a brief history of its raw beginnings through to the present day, exploring the rich diversity of calls on its time and the people involved. Looks at all aspects of mountain rescue in the UK, with brief history, and also many examples of real-life rescues. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781904524397
