Cumbria Police received a call from a parent who was concerned when their 21 year old did not make their final check-in of the day. Team Members were divided into three search parties across three valleys. A hasty team was sent to the intended campsite (Grisedale Tarn) where they located the walker safe and well in his tent.
The young person was left to enjoy their evening. The parent was relieved and very grateful to hear the good news.
