Rope rescue
On Sunday 02/04/23 at around 1430hrs Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team received their second call-out on this sunny day. This call-out involved a family of four who had become stuck in rough ground by the side of Angle Tarn Beck. They had attempted to scramble up the side of the beck to get to Angle Tarn but had veered off course and got trapped on steep rough ground.
A small team attended the scene and located the family quickly. With the use of some safety ropes they were all escorted down the fell back to safe ground.
