Gill Crag, Dovedale

The informant was concerned for the welfare of the owner of a dog that he had heard barking. A local farmer was contacted who advised that the local kennels had been exercising their trail hounds in the area. As this presented an opportunity for our newly qualified drone pilot to practice using the Team’s drone, a small team was sent up the track and spent 2 hours searching the area.

Once we were sure no people or domestic animals were in the area, the Team was stood down.
