At approximately 18:00 on Wednesday 8th July 2026, Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was alerted by Cumbria Police regarding a wild camper who appeared, to a passing member of the public, to be intoxicated and unwell. Following checks of the reported location and a conversation with the informant, it was established that the camper was situated very close to the roadside. As a result, responsibility for the incident was handed back to Cumbria Police to carry out a welfare check. The Team remained on standby and was prepared to assist should the situation require a mountain rescue response. Subsequently, Cumbria Police informed the Team that the camper was safe, well, and in good spirits. No further assistance was required, and the Team was stood down.
