Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team Ashburton’s Post

Callout #42 Saturday 7th December At just before 11:00am the team were contacted by Devon and Cornwall Police to help locate a walker who was lost and fatigued around a kilometre north of Saddle Tor. There were concerns for his health. With Storm Darragh approaching its peak and an amber weather warning of wind🚨, a team of our volunteers who were already at our Rescue Centre were immediately dispatched. The walker struggled towards Haytor where he was located by our team. He was then guided off the hill, assessed, given a hot drink and food and escorted back to the safety of his car and hotel accommodation nearby. The team stood down at just after 12:00. 8 of our volunteers were involved in this callout. #mountainrescue #dartmoor #devon #StormDarragh Video credit: Henry Smith
