A Call Out to Kinder Scout, Derbyshire

After the morning's walk and lunch, we got a call asking us to head for the train station car park at Edale. Apparently a dog had fallen down a gap in the rocks at the top of Grindsbrook and DCRO were asked to assist: Edale Mountain Rescue were also attending.
We arrived and found the DCRO vehicle there along with an Edale MRT Land Rover. Some Team Members had set off for the location where the dog was trapped along with MRT Members and we were waiting in case of need along with some others. After the Team Members had reached the location, they retrieved the dog in less than 5 minutes! Apparently it had fallen doen a hole about 2.2 Metres deep which was luckily wide enough for someone to reach the dog and attach a harness to allow it to be hauled out.
Once everyone had returned we packed up and headed for home.
