THE Grassington-based Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue helped to search for a person who had gone missing in the Thruscross Reservoir area last Monday.

Members arrived on scene just as the light was fading and spent several hours searching the area and access tracks across the moors. With nothing found and no leads on where to search next, the team stood down while they awaited further information and daylight.

The missing person was eventually located safe and well, having walked a considerable distance beyond the search areas.

The search was assisted by two dogs from the Search and Rescue Dog Association.
