Lost Walker on Helvellyn

The police received a call from someone reporting themself lost on Helvellyn. Initially, the job was passed to Keswick MRT but, as the information revealed the walker was in Patterdale’s area, it was passed to PMRT. The initial call allowed identification of the location but loss of signal meant that no further information was available.

As the weather was improving the decision was taken to wait until communication was re- established. When an hour later, the Team made contact, the walker had managed to find their way back to the road with the help of another fell walker.
