Dartmoor Rescue - An ill equipped lost walker calls for help

Dartmoor callout 23rd Jan 2018.
A lone female walker from Hertfordshire is lost in Dartmoor National Park with no map or compass, wearing jeans and clothing that was not suitable for the conditions, and with no spare clothing.
She was very scared and relieved to be found by Dartmoor Search and rescue Ashburton volunteers. She was wet through and mildly hypothermic but was able to walk off the moor with our search team after she was given a warm drink, food and warm clothing.
We hope she has learnt some very valuable lessons about being properly equipped on Dartmoor.
