Incident 5 of 2025:-
09/03/25, 16:17, Old Man of Coniston, SD272978
It was a warm and sunny Spring day. A woman was walking with her dog, which unfortunately had run off at the top of the Old Man. After searching for a while, she asked for our help through Cumbria Police. We despatched two Land Rovers and searched until it began to get dark, with plans to resume in the morning. However, when we dropped the owner back at her vehicle in the centre of the village, the missing dog was waiting beside it. In most cases, this is where we would expect a lost dog to make for. However, because the car was parked in the village and members of the party had returned there earlier, it was discounted. Full marks to the dog for navigating gates and a road safely back there.
9 volunteer team members attended, for just under 3 hours
