A Peak Park Ranger discovered an abandoned rucksack 300m south of Edale Cross. The rucksack contained nothing which could be used to identify the owner. The Police were concerned that there may be a missing person involved, so asked us to carry out a search of the area. We carried out an extensive search, but nothing was found.
However we did face a few challenges getting to the search area:
- Time: 11:30
- Type: Mountain Incident
- Location: Edale Cross, Kinder Scout
- Team members: 24
- Duration: 6.5 hours
- Volunteer hours: 156 hours
- Total volunteer hours for the year: 895
