The Team was tasked by Cumbria Police to go to the assistance of three walkers who had become disorientated and concerned about finding their way off the fell. The men, all in their 40’s, had decided to wild camp at Grisedale Tarn but, making slow progress in the snow and in failing light, decided to pitch their tents at Deepdale Hause.
The next morning, in poor visibility and with the tracks hidden by the night’s snowfall, the three dialled 999. A rescue party attended the campsite from where they escorted the party from the fell.
