Wild Camper at Red Tarn

The Team was asked to provide advice to a male who had been wild camping at Red Tarn. The camper and his kit were soaking wet so he was advised to pack his belongings and make his way down the fell. It was expected that he would warm- up once he started moving.

However, the weather deteriorated further and as the Team was unable to make contact a small party of rescuers was despatched to meet the male. Tracking, via his phone, confirmed he was walking in the right direction. The very wet and cold male was met by the rescuers and escorted back to the Base where he was given hot drinks and his kit dried out.

Arrangements were made for him to stay overnight at the Youth Hostel.
