A dog walker has given a donation to the search and rescue teams that helped look for him after he broke Covid exercise rules – and then became lost in thick mist. The incident happened on Wednesday this week after the man drove 13 miles to walk his dog on Bodmin Moor. Bodmin Police said that this contravened Covid exercise rules, as there were plenty of alternatives that were closer. Officers had considered giving him a fixed penalty notice for breaching the rules, but he had paid the equivalent amount as a donation to the volunteers of Cornwall Search & Rescue, after three rescue teams were sent out to help find him in thick mist.
