Overdue party
Cumbria Police tasked the Team to go to the aid of a 19 year old male who had misplaced his tent while wild camping on the fells above Ullswater. At dusk, the young man had wandered away from his campsite and when darkness fell he was unable to locate his tent.
Two Team Members went to the young man’s assistance and quickly reunited him with his accommodation.
