Thanking the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton

Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton are a volunteer Mountain Rescue team, part of the Dartmoor Rescue Group.

On the night of 21st November 2009, the Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton were among the volunteers called out to the River Dart valley to assist us, after the death of our good friend Chris Wheeler in a kayaking accident. They searched for hours in the dark to locate us, and then they spent all night carrying Chris out from the Dart gorge.

We would like to thank them for their selfless and professional assistance.

On March 25th 2012, I completed the South Devon Endurancelife Coastal Trail Series Ultramarathon; 34 miles of muddy trails and 5500 feet of ascent! I completed the event to raise funds for the DSRT Ashburton. Please consider making a donation to support their work; just follow the 'Give Money' link above.
