Two walkers were rescued from the Peak District’s second-highest hill after being reported missing overnight.
Glossop Mountain Rescue Team was called out at 2am on Sunday to search for the women on Bleaklow.
Team spokesman Peter Józefczyk said: “A vehicle was located at Snake Summit, which was thought to belong to one of the women.
“The team formulated a search plan following further information gathered from their intended route.”
The Glossop team requested help from Woodhead MRT to search up the Black Cloughs towards Grinah Stones and two Search and Rescue Dogs Association handlers and animals went to the Alport Valley.
Mr Józefczyk said: “Just before 6am the two females were located near to a plantation up the Alport Valley. After a quick assessment they were happy to walk down towards Alport Farm.”
The rescue operation concluded at 8am.

They're not the RAC of the hills, ready to change the odd puncture.
