A call to the police about an abandoned wheel-trolley bag split a multi-team mountain rescue search.
The Northerlands National Park Mountain Rescue Team (NNPMRT) stated that a bag filled with outdoor running equipment, on Friday, was discovered by a walker on Penin Way near Cheviot Hills.
In earlier days, the temperature used to meet rising concerns, it could be related to a walker in crisis, perhaps dehydrated and in search of water.
Teams from England and Scotland were deployed, but then a social media discovery informed that the walker, which was safe and well, left the trolley because it was broken.
Emergency employees were alerted only after 09:00 BST and, as the writing on the bag was initially felt to provide a name and address, it was passed to the police Scotland.
The NNPMRT stated that no relevant missing individual reports were found and a “limited response” was introduced, including volunteers from the border search and rescue unit, north of the Tin Mountain Rescue Team and NNPMRT.
“Then, social media power kicked within a few hours and within a few hours,” NNPMRT said.
The team said that a man was confirmed by many darshans of a man, wolar to draw and carry a trolley, in Heathpool and then on the way to Penin over Auchop Cairn.
It was also suggested that the trolley was broken and the message was “cart broken”, not a person’s name.
NNPMRT stated that “real success” occurred in the evening when a local builder confirmed that he had given a walker a lift near Alnvik near Kidlandly and a shop in the city confirmed that a man was to buy a holdle.
In both cases, the walker mentioned that he had dug up his trolley in Cheviot.
Shortly before 19:00, the authorities confirmed that the man was detected and he was eager to withdraw his trolley and his content.
“While the incident was completely avoidable, we are very happy that the walker is safe,” NNPMRT said.
