Dog Callout 20 - 25th November 2025 18:00hrs
Searchdog Ebba and her handler were called to assist Woodhead MRT with an incident near Darton, Barnsley.
Incident 146 - Sunday 16th November 2025 18:33hrs.
A report from a group of walkers who had witnessed flashing lights and whistling on the Mam Tor ridge.
After contacting the group and hearing that the lights and whistling had not been heard for some time now, the team were satisfied that it was not a call for help, but just some other walkers passing through.
Thank you to the group that reported the incident, they did the right thing.
