Callout 6/2023 - Dart Valley, Newbridge 17:22 19th March 2023 

Second callout in 24 hours!

At 17:22hrs the team were deployed to locate and assist a mother and her two teenage children who had become lost then unable to move on the steep ground on the north side of the river Dart upstream from Newbridge. As the light was fading, the party of three were located approximately 100m above the path on a steep and difficult wooded slope. They were made safe and fortunately had no injuries. As darkness fell, a technical rope system was then built which enabled each member of the party to be lowered safely to the path below. The party of three were then escorted along the path to a waiting team Landover and taken to the road head. We’d like to thank 40 of our volunteers who gave up their Mother’s day commitments to respond to this call.
