The police alerted the Team to a report of flashing lights on the fell. A conversation was held with the reporting person and a Land Rover was driven along the fellside road, but nothing further was seen. In the absence of any report of overdue persons or other more specific information, no further action was taken.

The police tasked the Team with investigating a report of flashing lights on Barton Fell, below Arthur’s Pike. The informant was contacted and reported that he could see several lights on the skyline. As a charity event was being held to place people on all the Wainwright’s during the night, it was agreed that no further action would be taken unless a specific call for assistance was received

Returning from Dove Crag to Brothers’ Water camp site, a group of three lost their way and called for assistance. A small team was sent to meet the lost walkers and return them to their campsite.

The police received a call from someone reporting themself lost on Helvellyn. Initially, the job was passed to Keswick MRT but, as the information revealed the walker was in Patterdale’s area, it was passed to PMRT. The initial call allowed identification of the location but loss of signal meant that no further information was available.

As the weather was improving the decision was taken to wait until communication was re- established. When an hour later, the Team made contact, the walker had managed to find their way back to the road with the help of another fell walker.
