Concern for overdue campers on Helvellyn

At 08:10 on Thursday 27 March 2025, the Team were contacted after a woman reported concern for her boyfriend and three others who had gone wild camping on Helvellyn. They had not been in contact since 15:00 the previous day and had little wild-camping experience. The Duty Leader explained that the party probably had no phone signal but agreed to check for their car in the Glenridding car parks. As the search began, the party made contact to say they were safe and on their way down.
