Callout 2024_064
Overdue party
The Team was alerted to two walkers who had been intending to camp at Angle Tarn but had broken their tent pole. They were about 200 metres above the valley floor so, as they were adequately equipped, the Team tried to persuade them that they were safe and could wait until they could see their way down at first light.
However, they recontacted the police for help so a small party was dispatched to escort them to the valley floor.
