Incident 93/2013
At 23:31 this evening the Team was contacted by Greater Manchester Police via SARCALL, who requested the team’s assistance to search for a missing male on the moors above Belmont.
The call was answered by our Team Leader, Garry Rhodes MBE. In discussion with Greater Manchester Police the full team was called out at 23:42 to commence an urgent moorland search. Due to the nature of the incident the team also contacted our colleagues at Rossendale & Pendle MRT and Bowland Pennine MRT. Cheshire Search & Rescue Team were also put on standby in the event that the search continued into the next day.
A car belonging to the missing man, who lives in Horwich, had been found by Police, parked at Hordern Stoops, on the road between Rivington and Belmont.
As the three MRTs were mobilising a hasty search of the immediate area surrounding the car was undertaken by Greater Manchester Police’s Tactical Aid Unit, who were assisted by an NPAS (Police) Helicopter in searching the same area from above.
Happily the male was found at 02:37 by a search party of Rossendale & Pendle MRT members on the Spitler’s Edge path running between Hordern Stoops and Great Hill. He was suffering from hypothermia but was able to walk, assisted by Bolton and Rossendale team members, back to the rendezvous point at Hordern Stoops. The party arrived back at the car park at 03:08 and the man was then taken to Royal Bolton Hospital by an NWAS Emergency Ambulance.
The Mountain Rescue Teams involved received a note of thanks from Greater Manchester Police very shortly afterwards, an excerpt of which is reproduced below:
The team also received thanks from the family of the missing man.
