Cumbria Police asked the team to assist two students who had reported themselves lost in low cloud on the summit of Helvellyn. The Duty Leader attempted to persuade the couple to walk off under his direction. When they declined, two Team Members were deployed to climb the fell and guide the pair down via Lower Man and Whiteside Bank.
