The hundredth 999 call of the year was received from Cumbria Police on Monday (on the same date as last year!). Thankfully this was swiftly resolved without a need for ‘boots on the ground’.
A walker on Scafell Pike was very concerned for the safety of another walker who was descending on Broad Stand, apparently ill-equipped for a descent to Mickledore. About 30 minutes later, the walker seemed to have realised his error and had successfully scrambled back towards Scafell summit. The Team Leader was relieved to hear this, and stood the team down.
Incident started at 13:19 and ended at 14:14 making 0.9 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved and the incident occured at NY 20973 06830. Total rescuer hours: 0.9
