Early morning Callout and sad result

This weekend handler John Leadbetter and Daryl went to Coniston to compete in a 2 day adventure race. They had to
Run and look for checkpoints, mountain bike, night navigation a run up to Coniston Old Man and then a kayak race on Coniston....they were knackered!

Whilst they did that me and the Dram dog and Kaz went out with Kazs friend Serena and her 3 dogs Jack , Darcy and Flint. We ran up the fell from Pooley Bridge - just over 6 km - Serena is very good and kept giving Kaz encouragement! Only 2 weeks til Kaz and Daryl do the Talkin Tarn Truathlon.

Then early this morning we had a pager message to go to Keswick MRT for a Callout to look for a missing fell runner. Ian and Keppi, joy and Einich, Elly and Meg, Olly and Kitt and Penny and Pippi and Olli had all been out. Me and Kaz and Daryl who navigated searched up from Newlands Valley to the start of the crags under Sail - me and Kaz were about to start traversing In to the crags when the helicopter that had flown above us radioed to say they'd found the man about 400 m from us round the corner- so we got stood down. Sadly the man had died.
