Today in what has been a very busy month for him (and Elaine and Boris) our Mountain Rescue Trailing Search Dog Handler Steve Nelson was called out to assist Bowland Pennine MRT and Lancashire Constabulary with a missing person incident in circumstances giving Police concern for the wellbeing of the missing male.

Together with Elaine Gilliland, his usual navigator, and with Trailing Search Dog Boris, they all three left their Bolton home at 18.30hrs, arriving at the search RVP at 19.45hrs, commencing their search at 20.00hrs.
