Lost Walkers on Whiteside Bank
Cumbria Police passed on a call from a party of three reporting themselves lost on Helvellyn. The Team was placed on standby, but from the GPS data on the 999 call it was clear that the group were close to the path between Lower Man and Whiteside Bank.
The Duty Leader spoke to the party, provided reassurance and directed them back to the path. The party was asked to share their live location via WhatsApp to allow monitoring of their progress. When the party was on the track to Greenside the Team was stood down.
