A mountain rescue team based in the Peak District will appear on our TV screens later this week – as part of a Channel 5 series showcasing their efforts to save a climber’s life.

Rescue missions by the Edale Mountain Rescue Team (EMRT) will feature twice in a Channel 5 series – with viewers able to watch them saving a climber with life-threatening injuries on August 16.

An EMRT spokesperson said: “The Channel 5 television series ‘Rescue 999: Seconds to Save a Life’, featuring rescues by EMRT, will be shown on Friday, August 16 at 8.00pm – and the same time (for a different call-out) on Friday, August 30.

“The first one is a fallen climber and the second one is an injured walker.
