A Cumbrian mountain rescue team has a new leader.
Dave Howarth has taken over as Kendal Mountain Search and Rescue Team, after Eddie Harrison stepped down from the role after four years in charge.
Mr Howarth thanked his predecessor for his contribution and said he wanted to build on the great professionalism and capabilities of the team and ensure that it moves forward to meet the challenges which inevitably lie ahead.
Tony Womack joined Kath Jackson as a deputy team leader of the Kendal volunteers.
