Happy New Year, just 11 hours into 2026 and the team received its first call for assistance, a walker was undertaking on out on a circular route from Bowden Bridge to the Downfall with their dog. Unfortunately the dog became ill and was unable to continue, the casualty had initially called for support to assist getting the dog back to their vehicle, fortunately they were met by some other walkers who kindly offered their assistance and were able to help the party back to the car park. Our team controller was able to talk with the casualty party and ensure they were safely off the hill plus provide details for local emergency vets to ensure the dog could found the best treatment possible.
