No form, no ticket number, no call centre

Everything on this site is run by volunteers from Rossendale and Pendle MRT. There are no paid staff. Pick the address that fits what you want and email it. Somebody will read it between shifts, callouts and day jobs.

Sponsorship, press and everything else

Who To Email

Sponsorship

Businesses, clubs and individuals who want to put money, kit or a matched pot behind the ten days. Say who you are and what you have in mind.

support@rpmrt.org.uk

Press and media

Interviews, photographs, filming requests and permission to use the route data or the campaign artwork. Include your deadline, because deadlines get answered first.

support@rpmrt.org.uk

General questions

The route, the kit, the fundraising, or how to get involved. If you are not sure which address you need, use this one.

How long a reply takes

Nobody is paid to sit on this inbox. The people reading it are the same people who get dragged out of bed at two in the morning to carry someone off a hill. A few days is normal. During the ten days it will be longer. If a week goes by with nothing, send it again rather than assuming you have been ignored.

This is not an emergency line

Email is checked when somebody has a spare hour. It is no use to you on a hill in the dark. If you or somebody else is in trouble in the mountains in the UK, call 999, ask for the police, then ask for mountain rescue. That is what puts a team on the ground.

Photographs, callouts and the odd bit of chaos

Where The Updates Live

Two places, and that is deliberate. This site holds the data. The social accounts hold everything that happens around it. Nothing gets posted to a mailing list, so there is nothing to sign up to.

Anything from the hill itself, photographs, weather, the state of his feet, goes out through the accounts above. This page and the pages it links to stay put at fellhell.co.uk.

Who the money is for

The Team

Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team is the charity behind FellHell 325. Volunteers, unpaid, on call every day of the year, in whatever weather the callout arrives in.

They buy their own kit, run their own training and keep their own vehicles on the road through fundraising like this. Every pound raised through Nick's ten days goes to them.

For team news, recruitment and the work itself, go straight to the team website. This site only covers the challenge.

Helping On The Ground

Nick walks every step himself, but somebody has to meet him at road crossings with food, dry socks and a reason to keep going. Most of that is covered by his own rescue teammates.

If you can genuinely help, email support@rpmrt.org.uk and put "help on the ground" in the subject line. Offers get passed to whoever is running the schedule.

One rule. Do not plan to meet him on the fells without arranging it first. A stranger appearing on a ridge at midnight is a problem, not a help, and the schedule slips daily.

Put this in the email

Where you are based, what you can actually do, which dates you are free, and a phone number. Vague offers cannot be planned around.

Expect a slow answer

The schedule firms up close to the start and changes constantly once it begins. Silence is not a no, it is a volunteer with a day job.

If you cannot get out

Sharing the fundraising page with people who have never heard of mountain rescue is worth more than another car at a road crossing.

Want to do this properly

If the work itself appeals rather than the ten days, teams recruit and train their own members. That conversation belongs on the team website, not here.

Every pound goes to the team

Rossendale and Pendle Mountain Rescue Team is run entirely by unpaid volunteers and funded almost entirely by donations. Sponsoring Nick puts money straight into kit, training and callouts.
