As the team was concluding its involvement with the Horwich New Heart Pike Walk event this afternoon, team members at Lower House Car Park became aware of a family group who had become seperated from one of their children.

Team members in the general area of the Terraced Gardens at Rivington commenced a short search, resulting in the location of the missing 11 year old shortly after being alerted.

His mother was driven in a team vehicle to where the young boy had been found in the Terraced Gardens, and all were happily reunited.
