Callout 16/6/19: At 1900 hrs the team received a request to assist two walkers who were lost in bad weather in the Loughshannagh area.
The walkers themselves, as well as two campers who had seen them pass by and become concerned for their safety, had contacted police to seek help.
The team responded and put a search plan in place, locating the two walkers along the Shannagh River.
Team members were able to provide additional insulation for the pair, who were cold and wet but otherwise none the worse for wear.
They were then able to walk them out to team vehicles and transport them back to safety.

Great stuff as always folks
Great work as usual
Excellent job Folks - glad these girls got home safely. My brother and I were camping by Lough Shannagh (but we were well kitted out and prepared). Conditions deteriorated very quickly (from what was glorious weather) with very poor phone signal. Very easy to get caught out 👏
Fantastic work - a pleasant day that quickly became extremely challenging. Once again, kudos to the team.
Great work well done to all involved
Another difficult rescue....well done team!👏👏👏
Well done everyone
The weather is so unpredictable and ‘Summer’ walkers are not prepared! It’s so reassuring to know you are there...well done everyone!

Well done team . Been busy for you all . 🍷🥾
Great team😊👍
Glad everyone ok. Weather can change so quickly - so important to have good quality waterproof/gortex clothing and equipment.
It’s nice to know they are there if needed. Well done team.
Great work again guys. Well done. We were at Spelga on Friday night and it rained constantly thru the night. I don't think any waterproofs could have withstood that either. Wild weather for sure. 🙂
Another job well done team
Well done guys!
Well done guys👍
Sandra Hollingsworth look how things changed!
Well done again! 💜 So many underestimate the power of the elements!
The Glen Team would like to thank the Irish Coast Guard Rescue 116 crew for training in some of our new members along with Rowan from S.A.R.D.A (Search and Rescue Dog Association) in heli ground school
Yesterday, at the invitation of The Irish Coast Guard, some of our members attended a joint training exercise at Dunabrattin Head, Bunmahon, Co. Waterford. The exercise centered around various cliff, shoreline and water based exercises and involved coordinated responses from land, sea and air. It was a great opportunity for our members to interact with the agencies based in the area and for our dogs and handlers to further familiarize themselves with the sights and sounds of the aircraft. Thanks again for your welcome yesterday and we look forward to working with you in the future.
