Incident report

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called at 03.00 in the morning following the report to police of a man missing from home in Tideswell.

The rescue team established a control-point at Tideswell Dale car park and twenty team members and four search and rescue dogs radiated out on the local paths in search for the missing 69 year old.   The appalling heavy rain gave concern for the man’s safety and welfare but he was located within two hours in a fit and well condition.
