This evening the team was contacted by Lancashire Constabulary after a walking group in the Rivington area had reported one of their number missing from the party.

As the team was preparing to rendez-vous at Lower House Car Park, Rivington, it was reported to us that the missing male had been located and reunited with the walking group, and the team was therefore stood down.

This incident is not included in the team’s incident statistics and is being reported here for information only.
