At 09:30 we were asked by Derbyshire Police to assist with a search for a woman missing from home in New Mills. We deployed team members on foot, a combined Kinder MRT and Glossop MRT water team, a search dog and an MRT Buxton drone. We searched the Sett Valley from Thornsett to Waterside at Hague Bar.

Sadly, we located the lady deceased in the river at Waterside. Our water team were able to evacuate her and hand her over to the police.

This was a terrible tragedy and our condolences go out to the lady’s family and friends.

Kinder Mountain Rescue Team is staffed by volunteers who give their time free of charge and is funded entirely by public donations.
