Lost walkers spark search in the Cheviots
The pair were attempting to walk back to their vehicle parked in the Harthope valley, near Wooler.
Northumberland National Park (NNPMRT) and North of Tyne mountain rescue teams were deployed but thankfully the walkers had managed to find their way down to a track near Langleeford Farm where they were located by Northumbria Police officers.

While we will always turn out for those in need, this particular incident was avoidable. Please can we remind all walkers to go well equipped for the conditions and particularly during the winter months to carry a torch.’
