Mountain rescue search for lost walker on Bleaklow

Friday, 5 March 2021 17:51

Mountain rescue crews launched a search party on Bleaklow to find a lost walker. 

Glossop's heroes of the hills were called out on Wednesday evening (3 March) at around 7.05pm to help a man who had become separated from his walking party. 

Glossop Mountain Rescue Team say the group of seven walkers were heading back from their visit to the B-29 crash site at the time. 

They added that the group were all experienced hill walkers, from the same household, and they were well equipped for the conditions.

A spokesperson for Glossop MRT added: "Team members came across the separated man near to Crooked Clough, from where they then escorted him back to Snake Summit.

"25 team members took part, they stood down at 20.15." 

GMRT - which receives no direct government funding - is continuing to appeal for donations to help ensure its volunteers can continue to turn out day and night to rescue people in wild and remote places.

  • The signs they are a changin'

    It was the end of an era at Whitfield Community Centre this week as the old Derbyshire County Council signage was removed to make way for new ones. Whitfield Together, the group that bought the Centre for the community, is refreshing the Centre's image. Its new logo will soon go up on the front of the building. Gerry Dominey told us, "It seemed like a significant moment when we took the sign down. It was as if we were saying that the Centre is ours now and we can put our paw print on it. And that felt good."
