Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team
on standby every night and day
Answering calls from those in distress
from those injured or lost their way

A group of volunteers
carry out rescues and searches together
Prepared to put their own lives at risk
in every kind of weather

I was sad to hear the news
of a brave man lucky to be alive
His life will never be the same
due to the accident he survived

On a call out to save some campers
who chose to break the lockdown rules
They drove to visit the Lake District
I consider them selfish fools

An experienced team member
slipped, fell five hundred feet to the ground
Airlifted to hospital
where his life changing injuries were found

Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team
are there to help, not to judge they say
There to help those in difficulty
On standby every night and day
