Lost in cloud on High Street

Following a call to Cumbria Police, the team were asked to assist a man on High Street near Racecourse Hill. Unfortunately, despite having made good progress through the day, he found himself disorientated, cold and without any means of light other than his phone as darkness arrived. Thankfully, while the Duty Leader was remotely directing him, two mountain bikers kindly lent him torches. This allowed him to make progress towards Hayeswater, where team members met him and assisted him off the fell. Having been driven back down to Hartsop, another friendly local provided him with a lift over Kirkstone Pass.
The rescue involved four Team members and three helpful locals.
