Cumbria Police received a call from a parent who was concerned when their 21 year old did not make their final check-in of the day. Team Members were divided into three search parties across three valleys. A hasty team was sent to the intended campsite (Grisedale Tarn) where they located the walker safe and well in his tent.

The young person was left to enjoy their evening. The parent was relieved and very grateful to hear the good news.

Cumbria Police asked the team to assist two students who had reported themselves lost in low cloud on the summit of Helvellyn. The Duty Leader attempted to persuade the couple to walk off under his direction. When they declined, two Team Members were deployed to climb the fell and guide the pair down via Lower Man and Whiteside Bank.

LAMRT, via Cumbria Police, requested the Team’s help in the search for a vulnerable young person who was missing in the area of Kirkstone Pass. There had been a few unconfirmed sightings in the valley. As Team Members were making their way to Base they spotted the missing person and transported him to the Rescue Base where he was reunited with his parents.

While the Team was training in the Ullswater Valley they received a report from Cumbria Police of a walker seeking advice having lost their way on Hallin Fell. The walker had left the path to take a direct route to the summit and become disoriented in high bracken.

Using PhoneFind, the Team was able to guide the walker down to the shore path from where they were able to complete the rest of their walk.
