We were called by the Police about 4 walkers reported overdue from a walk on Scafell Pike. It turned out they had started relatively late and only had 1 torch in the party so ended up spending the night on the mountain when the light ran out and then walked themselves off in the morning. A good reminder to start packing a torch in the rucksack as summer fades away.
Incident started at 05:02.
