The Team was asked to investigate a report of lights on the fellside. A party walking above Aira Force had observed a light appearing to flash some miles away towards the Dodds. There was no pattern to the flashing and the light appeared to be moving, occasionally disappearing completely.
A Team Member in the area observed a light descending Great Dodd towards High Row. From the rate of descent, it was believed to be a mountain biker. Since the area has phone reception and no further request for assistance was received the incident was closed.
