Incident report

The second call to be received relating to the icy weather was to assist a disabled couple stranded in the Monks Dale area near Tideswell.

Four members in two team 4×4 vehicles were dispatched from the rescue base at Dove Holes and spent three hours combing all the minor roads in the area.  It was a slow job in the freezing conditions which turned the road surface into sheets of ice.

Despite an extensive search no trace of the couple was found and the members went to the aid of those other team members still working in the Goyt Valley.  see incident 76.
