Exmoor SRT base opening
Five team members travelled up to Exmoor SRT on 2nd May 2011, National Cave and Mountain Rescue Awareness Day, to congratulate them on the opening of their new search and rescue team base in South Molton.
The event was supported by the surrounding community and local dignitaries, with the base being officially opened by Sir Ranulph Fiennes. The day marked the end of months of hard work in planning and preparations, and the result is an outstanding, modern and functional facility which the team should be proud of.
Well done to Exmoor team.

The team were called out alongside HM Coastguard and the RNLI by the police to a report of a despondent missing 19 year old female in the Fistral Beach area. As the team were preparing to search the golf course and dunes area, an HMCG team located the female at the water edge and safely recovered her. |
