There was a good outcome to a two-day multi-agency search for a missing person from Keswick yesterday.
With heavy rain and a huge complex area to search, mountain rescue teams from around the county, including dogs from the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association and Maryport Search and Rescue, were drafted in to search for the missing woman in her 50s.
Initially the obvious local paths and lake shore were searched until darkness prevented effective searching. This resumed yesterday morning with many more mountain rescue teams given specific areas to search.
Andrew Jenkins and search dog Bramble, from Northumberland National Park MRT, had been tasked to search the lower slopes of Latrigg above the River Greta.
Bramble made the find, her first, in very dense wet bracken and foliage. The missing person was cold but well.
A Keswick MRT spokesman said: “Many thanks to all teams involved and to Brysons for their generous donation of cakes.”
