A missing woman was found in the forest with the help of a search dog.
On Friday, April 11, volunteers from Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue Team and Keswick Mountain Rescue Team were called to help find a missing woman in Whinlatter Forest, Cumbria.
The search involved local mountain rescue and drone teams, as well as Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England and Cumbria Police.
Whilst Northumberland National Park Mountain Rescue Team were dealing with an incident elsewhere, one of the team's search dog handler’s travelled to the Lake District.
Four search dogs were used, including Tess with Northumberland team handler Brian, searching through the forest with limited visibility.
In the late afternoon, search dog Kez, with handler Andy from the Cave Rescue Organisation, found the woman.
She was then taken to hospital by ambulance for further checks.
