The Team had just got to the summit of Helvellyn, on the first job of the afternoon, when the police alerted them to a walker who had become lost in low cloud on Stybarrow Dodd. As resources were at our Base, these were despatched to Dowthwaite Head, in a Team Land Rover, to locate the lost person using the PhoneFind system.
The walker was located and walked off the fell.
