Four people from Manchester had to be rescued in Derbyshire while searching FIVE hours for a plane crash site in deep snow.
One of the group had become exhausted in the freezing cold during the walk to the B-29 crash site near Bleaklow Moor on Saturday.
They were saved by the Glossop Mountain Rescue Team who located them at Hern Stones using a phone finder app.
Team members first set off from Snake Summit along the Pennine Way with a stretcher and other kit after being called out at 3.40pm.
When they arrived, they gave the group additional jackets.
After a quick assessment it was decided to walk all four back to Snake Summit.
They were then taken back to their cars parked at Old Glossop.
The team stood down at 6.40pm.
In a Facebook post, the mountain rescue team said: "The four people had driven from Manchester breaking the Covid-19 rules, not just that but also putting their lives at risk.
"The temperature on Bleaklow on Saturday was around minus twelve celsius with wind chill and deep snow.
"This could of been a very different story had they not had phone signal."
