Congratulations to both Dave and Megan on such a good result for all involved. I know from personel experience how difficult these searches are and also how much it means to the relatives involved to have a missing person found albeit not the result they would have wanted. Having been a member of the team years ago and worked several search dogs for both mountain rescue and international disaster work I appreciate all the hard work thats entailed. Very well done everyone. - Paul Hitchen on Monyash

UPDATE from Quiz setter: Re Question 4 - I have accidentally omitted part of the clue. Due to so many quiz sheets having already been distributed and to mark fairly this question has been removed. Fingers crossed, I believe that this is the only mistake I have made. - Adam Sebes on Errwood Reservoir
hello there My father was the man who called the ambulance and who was fishing with Andy at the time he collapsed My father would like to say thank you for all your help that you did that day and what a great job every single 1 of your team do. Sadly in this case, that evening Andrew passed away with a stroke Keep up the amazing work you do Adam Sebes - Jon Brooker on Grinlow Woods, Buxton
Dear Buxton MRT I am writing to offer my heart felt thanks for the help you provided last Wednesday 24th August. For some unknown reason I collapsed whilst walking at Pooles Cavern and unfortunatley in this process hit my head against a rock knocking myself unconscious. After spending two days in Stockport hospital I am now at home in Suffolk on the mend. You did a fantastic job in supporting the ambulance crew getting me down to the car park and without this who knows what would have happened. My family and I very much appreciate your help and the all the great work you do Best regards Jon Brooker - Sue Lomas on Goyt Valley, near Errwood Hall
This 'male walker' was my husband and we were actually out bilberrying for a pie for tea! We love the Goyt and have been going there usually once or twice a week for years. It took 40 minutes to get the ambulance (including the air ambulance) to our aid and with the help of Buxton mountain rescue team Terry was safely put aboard the helicopter. Seven minutes later he was at Wythenshaw - less than 30 minutes later he had 2 stents inserted in his heart and by the time myself, son and daughter arrived he was going back on the coronary care ward and in his own words he'd been 'sorted'. Terry was discharged on Monday 18 July and is now well on the way to a full recovery. He feels deeply grateful to everyone who attended to him during his heart attack. Mountain rescue teams are something we have always supported as we are about walking in the Peaks and Dales. We've now seen at first hand the wonderful work they do. Thank you once again. - barry fine on Chrome Hill
Thanks for all your help on Chrome Hill. The lady suffered a broken ankle She stayed at North Staffs hospital for 5 days until they operated on her.She is now at home ,still in plaster but recovering well .Our walking group, the Pennine Wayfarers, would like to thank you all for your help - Richard Maltby on Crowden Brook
We were on Kinder Scout on Sunday and were very near to the incident as it unfolded. I have to say we were very impressed by the whole operation, which was carried out in quite difficult blustery conditions. You guys, together with the Sea King crew deserve a great deal of credit. Well done and keep up the fantastic work. - Rick on Crowden Brook
Thanks to all the team, especially James, the doc and the two guys who controlled the hi-line on last sunday's job. There was no spin on the stretcher, and apart from a short delay at the hospital LS for the ambulance the job went as smoothly as it could have done. It was a tricky winch due to the nature of the gully, and the guys in 128 had to hover downwind on the edge of the power limits. Lets hope she makes a full recovery. Hope some of you guys n galls can make it to our hangar party at Lec on 23 Jul, free camping available! Regards Rick R128 Winchman - Conor on Hollins Cross
I am the MTB rider involved in this incident. Just wanted to say thank you very much for coming out to help me on Saturday. I sustained a partial collapse of my left lung as a result of the fall which explains my breathing difficulties. To find yourself in a remote and unfamiliar location with a serious medical complaint is a frightening experience and your professionalism provided much needed reassurance. Also glad that I was wearing my MTB helmet and riding within a group. The staff at Stockport hospital looked after me very well, aspirated my chest and after an overnight stay I am back home in Surrey for follow-up treatment locally. I am already looking forward to my next trip back to the Peak District. What a lovely place. Next time I might attach stabilisers to the bike though! Thank you. - admin on Miller’s Dale
Thanks for letting us know about your wife's progress. Hope the treatment closer to home alleviates and relieves the injury. All best wishes. - Tessa Brocklehurst on Stanage
Fantastic, professional, helpful, cheerful and efficient, your team made a difficult situation more manageable. Many thanks from the aunt of this youngster - Roger Heath on Miller’s Dale
Further to my previous, had a call from Stepping Hill Hospital Stockport to say they have reviewed the x-rays and it is a lot more serious than first thought. Annie was asked to go to our local hospital in Newcastle for further scans and assessments. It has been confirmed Annie has a fractured vertebrae of the lower back. - Roger Heath on Miller’s Dale
May I pass on all my thanks and gratitude to all your members who were so helpful and caring in assisting my wife on Saturday afternoon. She was taken to Stepping Hill Hospital in Stockport. She was x-rayed and assessed and the outcome was damage to her lower vertebrae. She was released late on Saturday evening. Once again to you all, thank you for your support. - Jon Kidd on On parade
Thankyou Adrian. It was a real privelage. Your cadets do you proud!
