A group of four teenaged boys had been camping at Angle Tarn when the weather deteriorated, and their tent’s flysheet blew away. The group called for help. Two of the boys remained with their tent while the other two decided to walk back to Hartsop.

The group was reunited with their parents at the Rescue Base.
