The man, from Flintshire, was reported missing by a concerned relative who had hoped to meet up with him at a camp site in Patterdale the previous day. When he didn’t arrive as expected and no contact could be made, the police request the help from the Patterdale Team, along with teams from Langdale and Penrith to search the Coast to Coast routes in their respective areas.
