LATEST FIND

 

 We were called to attend a search for a missing male near Dob Gill, Keswick - as some of the  dog teams were training close by we were able to respond quickly.  After a short search, handler Mick Guy and Searchdog Ginny found the gentleman - he was sunburnt and badly dehydrated.  He was escorted from the hill and treated.

DERWENT ISLAND SWIM SUCESS FOR IAN

 

Ian Reay swam the Derwent Island 1 miles swim on behalf of LDMRSDA.  The weather was atrocious, nevertheless, Ian managed a very respectable time of 45 minutes and raised £233 for us.  Many thanks Ian
