Lost in Low Cloud on Nethermost Pike

Cumbria Police had received a call from a couple reporting themselves lost on the Helvellyn range. In low cloud and rain, they had become disoriented and thought they were somewhere near to Nethermost Pike. The couple were uninjured, had a torch and suitable clothing, so were given directions off the fell via Dollywagon Pike and Grisedale Tarn.

Meanwhile, the Team was placed on standby. The couple’s progress was monitored and contact was made at various points to ensure that they were on the correct route. Eventually, the couple arrived safely in the valley bottom and their vehicle.
