They were stood down whilst en-route to the incident, when the missing party was located safe and well.

Three Mountain Rescue teams (Edale, Glossop and Woodhead), with 7 Search Dog units, including one from Buxton, were deployed in the search which was conducted in driving rain, strong wind and hill fog. All water courses were in full spate.

The walker, from the Manchester area, was eventually located just before midnight by a foot section from Glossop MRT at the top of the West End Valley. He was walked off the hill un-injured, albeit slightly hypothermic. Read a further write-up in the outdoor magazine, Grough.

Please see post for team call-out on same date for further details.

The search was conducted from late morning through to the darkness of early evening. All areas, which consisted of woodland and open agricultural land, were searched without locating the missing person. He was eventually found safe and well outside of the search areas.

The search was initiated by Kinder MRT who called for reinforcement from Buxton MRT in order to expand the search area. See post for team call-out for details.

The 49 year old vulnerable male was reported to be in the area of Staunton Harold reservoir, in south Derbyshire.

The missing person was located safe and well by Derby MRT members inside the search area.

One of the party had sustained an ankle injury and the party had missed their path as night and cloud descended. However, they were able to call in with a grid reference. A Kinder section located them under Cluther Rocks and escorted them off the hill.

The dog teams were returned to base.
