Mourne Mountain Rescue Teams New Base: A Game-Changer for Mountain Safety

The Mourne Mountain Rescue Team, a group of dedicated volunteers, is moving into a new state-of-the-art base near Donard Wood in Newcastle. After years of operating from a small room at a police station, the team has raised over £1.3 million to fund the new facility. The new base, set to open in July, features secure parking, changing rooms, meeting spaces, a quiet area for families, and an indoor rope-training setup, all powered by solar panels and efficient heating. The upgrade is expected to improve the teams ability to handle mountain rescues and protect their gear from salty air. The team, which handles calls 24/7, 365 days a year, is committed to ensuring the Mournes remain a safe playground for all who climb.
