Report of abandoned tents Near Angle Tarn
Around 10:30 am on the 5th of January, the Team received information from Cumbria Police that a fell walker who had been camping out had found three abandoned tents.
The previous evening the fell walker saw lights at the same location.
Later that evening a Patterdale Mountain Rescue Deputy Leader had seen lights descending the fell near that location.
With no further reports of missing people, the team were stood down.
