Teesdale & Weardale Search and Mountain Rescue Team requested the support of the Team and North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Team for the ongoing search in Teesdale. The extensive search had involved 5 Mountain Rescue Teams and specialist resources from Durham Constabulary, the NPAS helicopter, the HM Coastguard SAR helicopter, drones teams from the Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association, and search dogs from Mountain Rescue Search Dogs England and the Lake District.

On day five of the search, tragically a body was located. A very sad outcome following a significant search effort.

Day four of the search involved 9 Team members for 9 hours.
