Four teenagers rescued from Dartmoor while training for Ten Tors
Four teenagers have been found safe and well after they became separated from the adults they were with whilst training for Ten Tors.
The alarm was raised at 7.45 p.m. on Saturday 9 March 2013 when the missing youngsters rang the police but were unable to give their exact location. Although dressed appropriately, they had no shelter with them.
-
The weather prevented the force helicopter from lifting, and the Dartmoor Rescue Group was called in to take part in the search.
Through careful questioning of the missing people the officers organised a systematic search and found them just after midnight at Fernworthy Forest, suffering from the effects of the cold. All four were allowed home once checked by medical staff.

“Sad old withering Herald. The same stock photo of a policeman stood with 'DO NOT CROSS' tape. We would understand if you used this daily picture for a rape, murder or suicide but people lost on the moors - really!!. Any other paper would upload a pic of the moors or maybe the Dartmoor Rescue Team. Quite pathetic !!”

“Thats odd, I thought Okehampton uses mk4 Sea Kings. All of those are equipped with infrared & nightvision equipment and can lift in all weather conditions.”
