Incident report

A fruitless journey for Buxton Search Dog Handler, Dave Mason, when he and Search Dog Megan were called with other search dogs to assist Glossop Mountain rescue Team.

A group of eleven walkers had become lost and confused in wild, wet conditions on Bleaklow during the night.  Dave and Megan travelled thirty miles from Matlock to help in the search to find that a Glossop MRT foot section had just located the group.  The group, all safe if wet and cold, were escorted from the moor and Dave returned home.
