The Team was contacted by Coniston MRT who had been passed the incident in error. Overcome by darkness, two walkers had reported themselves lost on the Coast- to-Coast route between Patterdale and Grasmere. As their phone was registered overseas, the exact location couldn’t be ascertained.
Personnel from Patterdale were sent up Grisedale to clear the paths to the tarn while personnel from Langdale Ambleside MRT were sent up Tongue Gill and Raise Beck. The walkers were located on the Grasmere side of the fell at approximately 22:45 hours and escorted to their accommodation by members of the Langdale Team.
