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 called out to the River Dart valley, after the death of our good friend Chris Wheeler in a kayaking accident. They searched for hours in the dark to locate the accident scene, 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 17th April 2011, we'll both be paddling 26.2 miles through central London, on the day of the London Marathon. This event is called the 'London Kayakathon'; participants like ourselves aim to raise £30,000 overall for various charities - londonkayakathon.com

With thanks, Mark and Heather Rainsley
