Dog Rescue Call-out – near Sutton Bank

Sunday 6th December 2020

At 1239 hours we received a request to rescue a dog that had become stuck on a crag near to the disused Mount Snever Observatory, approximately two miles south-east of Sutton Bank. The dog was reportedly 10-15 feet from the top and the owner was at that time unable to reach it.

Two Team Land Rovers and a number of our volunteer members, some of them skilled in ‘technical’ rope rescues were deployed.

However, at 1316 hours we were advised that the dog had been recovered safe and well by the owner’s walking group with assistance from a passer-by so we were able to stand-down.

Ten members were en route at the time of the stand-down (with more on standby if needed) together with two others co-ordinating our response remotely. The incident lasted just under three-quarters of an hour.
