Incident report

Search Dog Megan with handler Dave Mason called to assist with a search of Kinder Scout by Kinder MRT for two lost walkers.  Attempts to use SARLOC (text message locating system) had failed and a helicopter search was ruled out because of bad weather.  Two other Peak District Search Dogs were also involved before the casualties were eventually located near to Crowden Head.

The two were than assisted from the hill by members of Kinder MRT.
