Buxton and Edale Mountain Rescue teams called as a snatch squad to a walker with a medical condition above Speedwell Cavern.
The teams were stood down on arrival as the air ambulance was able to land close to the patient and hence did not require any additional assistance.
A search was initiated in the dark and very early hours of the morning for the dog teams of Oldham and Kinder Mountain Rescue, assisted by Buxton.
Search Dog, Megan, with handler Dave Mason, were called to help police locate a missing 33 year old man from Stockport, in an area of urban parkland. The man was known to be in a vulnerable mental state. Despite prolonged and detailed searching in dense woodland and along a river bank in muddy, slippery, underfoot conditions, nothing was found.
The search was transferred to Bolton Mountain Rescue to continue during the daytime.
