DARTMOOR Search and Rescue Team was called out last Wednesday (July 30) by police at 4.50pm, following the discovery of a small rucksack at Burrator containing a suicide note. Once further information was obtained the team was deployed from Norsworthy Bridge to search for a middle-aged male.  The Tavistock team called DSRT Plymouth to assist, for maximum coverage during daylight hours. Teams were tasked initially to search tracks, reservoir banks and Tor summits. The police helicopter carried out a search of open areas and the team was re-tasked to search woodland and scrub, including the use of four search dog teams. The search was stood down around 10pm as darkness approached. l The Tavistock team was called the following day on Thursday, July 31 at 1.10pm, to assist the ambulance service in recovering a woman with leg injuries from rough moorland alongside the O'Brook above Week Ford on the River Dart. Team members stretchered the casualty to the waiting ambulance on the public road.
