Having been in bed for less than two hours I was awoken by the duty controller to see if the team would search for a vulnerable male, missing in the Stockport area. As numbers are always down during the peak holiday periods I immediately called Oldham team to assist us. We searched until daylight and then requested that Bolton team take over. The missing man was located later that day by the police.

Along with Glossop, Oldham, Woodhead and SARDA, we met at Crowden car park to look for a person who had been missing since late January. The police had been able to narrow down a last known location to an area around here so we spent the day searching the banks of Woodhead Reservoir and the hillsides and woods in this location. Despite our best efforts we were unable to help them locate the missing person. Neale Pinkerton Deputy Leader Kinder MRT
 Two team members at Moorgate during callout
Following on from a week of hectic activity supporting the local ambulance services, where we have responded to 30 calls for our assistance, the team got a hill job this evening. 2 men were reported lost on Kinder in rather unpleasant weather conditions. Following phone conversations between our duty controller and the missing walkers, it was established that they were at or around the Kinder Trig Point. Ourselves, Buxton and Edale teams and SARDA were deployed to find them. Fortunately they were located fairly quickly by a party from Buxton / Edale who walked them back down to the valley. Neale Pinkerton, Deputy Team Leader
This is the first callout from our temporary base, during major building work to upgrade the team’s facilities and means we are working out of a small office and steel storage container. I received the call from the duty controller to say that two people were missing on Kinder and that Glossop, Edale and Buxton teams along with the search dogs were also being called.
At about 1am the missing people were located by a party from Edale Team. Darren Wallis, Team Leader
Having been out for over five hours during Friday afternoon (see callout 18. 4-Sept-2009) the last thing I wanted to see at 2:30 in the morning was the message “CALLOUT”. Initially the callout was for the regional water rescue group to backup Glossop Team, however this soon developed into a full callout for Kinder Team. A vulnerable person was missing, having left their car near the reservoir. A major search involving two mountain rescue teams, search dogs, the water rescue group and an RAF SeaKing helicopter resulted in the missing person being found by a member of the Water Rescue Group driving to the incident! Darren Wallis – Team Leader
The newly formed PDMRO Water Team assisted Woodhead MRT & SARDA in the search for a missing person, who turned up safely at home the next day. Two members of Kinder MRT, with specialist water training, are part of this group made up of team members from across the peak rescue teams. The newly formed group was tasked to search around the edge of Langsett Reservoir and a section of the river feeding it. Darren Wallis – Team Leader
A continuation of the search carried out on 2nd June 2009 with Woodhead MRT, Glossop MRT, Oldham MRT, SARDA and the PDMRO* Water Team, with a sad outcome when a body was quickly located by members of Woodhead MRT
