Heat-exhausted father and son rescued in Cheviot hills

However, by the time the team arrived the son had also started to suffer the effects of the sun and his condition was deteriorating.

The rescue team – joined by neighbouring Northumberland Mountain Rescue – put up a shelter to provide shade and started rehydration.

Once the father and son began to stabilise and improve they were taken down from the hillside.

Team leader Duncan Buchanan said: “We’re all mountain enthusiasts in the team and we encourage the public to enjoy the hills and find adventure in our wonderful local environment.

“In the summer, be sure to take a sun hat, sunscreen, plenty of water, enough food to keep you fuelled for the duration of your expedition, and a little more besides.

“Importantly, have a realistic idea of the fitness and capabilities of every member of the party.”

In addition, he urged people to be aware of the danger of ticks, another “underestimated hazard in the summer”.
