Mountain rescue team helps pair on night walk
The rescue team found the hikers and returned safely
- Published
A mountain rescue team and a search dog came to the rescue of two walkers who got into difficulty at night in the Peak District.
Edale Mountain Rescue Team said the pair had set out "later than planned" to walk the southern edges of Kinder, and reached a point where "they were not confident to progress unassisted".
They called for assistance and members of the team, including German Shepherd search dog Ebba, were sent to locate the pair at 21:56 GMT on Saturday.
Team members "climbed out of the mist of the valley to be greeted by a fantastic night sky" before locating the walkers and returning to Edale.
