Location

Barton Fell

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
