A young person suffered cold shock on Dartmoor
A young person has been rescued from Dartmoor during an organised walk.
The Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team in Tavistock said it was called out to a location just north of King's Tor at about 13:35 GMT on Sunday.
The team helped paramedics after the person got cold shock, usually caused when someone goes into cold water, and was "unable to walk it off".
The team said the person, who was doing an "organised training walk", warmed up after being taken off Dartmoor.
A post on the rescue team's Facebook page, external said: "The weather was challenging today but the group were well prepared and reacted quickly and appropriately.
"We wish them all well with their ongoing training."
