Callout 2024_106
Overdue party
Wild Campers on Dove Crag, Hartsop
The Team was contacted by Cumbria Police with a report of two cold, wet males who, due to a combination of the time of day that they started walking and limited hours of daylight, had failed to reach their objective (Priest’s Hole on Dove Crag).
In very wet and windy conditions, with the possibility of snow later, they decided to camp. Their location was established using PhoneFind and a rescue party was sent to assist the campers back to safety.
