Latest Find 20th Oct 2011

A man was reported overdue after a planned walk to Green/Great Gable. Cockermouth and Keswick teams as well as dogs were searching for him. 

Search dog Ginny (Mik Guy) picked up a scent near the Loft Beck area and followed this for a considerable distance, when they began to hear shouts and whistles as they approached. 

Cockermouth Team members were then 'directed' by the handler onto the missing persons location.

Langdale Charity Folk Festival 

Twice a year (May and September) the Langdale Charity Folk Festival takes place at the Old Dungeon Ghyll. For some years we have been a permanent beneficiary, and last weekend saw the Festival once again raise over £1000 for us (and a similar sum for the Great North Air Ambulance). Grateful thanks go to festival organiser Mik Mead, all those others who helped with the organisation, the musicians who all perform for free, the audience and the owners and staff of the ODG. Next stop 14-16 September 2012.
