The team were asked to assist in a search for a missing despondent 51 year old man.  The search area centred on his rural home.  Searches for him or his car in the local area (including places he had previously been found) were unsuccessful, so the search was scaled down at 6.00am.  The following morning Police found his car three fields away from the nearest road.  The team were put on “stand-by” to recommence the search, however a Police Dog soon found missing person.

The search from the previous night was resumed.  Substantial resources including Exmoor Search and Rescue Team, Police Support group and the Avon and Somerset Search and Rescue Team were to be deployed.  Before most arrived, our Search and Rescue dogs Storm and Rusty searched an area of woodland close to the parked car. 

They found the missing lady, who was able to walk back to the road.

The team searched until 2.30am for a 26 year old despondent female.  Police had found the missing persons car parked on the Quantock Hills at 19.42hrs.  Large areas of open land and tracks in the woodland were searched.  It was decided to carry out more searches in daylight the following morning.

A 26 year old male with learning difficulties was last seen on the 14^th October, when leaving Hunters Inn to walk back to Lynton.  The RAF Search & Rescue Helicopter located the missing person on Woody Bay beach just as the first team members arrived.
