Incidents

On Saturday the 29th June, The rescue team had just got to the summit of Helvellyn on a previous job when we were alerted to a walker who had become lost on Stybarrow Dodd as the cloud levels had dropped. This was our 3rd job in the space of 2 hours, Penrith taking over the previous job in Martindale. Thankfully we had a few spare team members by this time and were able to send 2 people out in 1 of our team Landrovers to locate the lost person. The team members parked at Dowthwaite Head and using our phone find system were able to locate the lost person and walk them of the fell. This Job involved 4 Team members and lasted 5 hours
