Cumbria Police reported two walkers lost near Calf Cove on Great End. Wasdale MRT made brief contact with them, but not enough to gather meaningful details. A location was available from their 999 call, but due to the number of possible descent routes, Keswick MRT and Langdale Ambleside MRT were requested to cover paths within their areas, all converging towards Esk Hause to maximise coverage. Both missing persons were located near Seathwaite by Keswick MRT and were able to return to their vehicle. All teams stood down, relieved at the positive outcome given the awful weather conditions on the hill.
Many Thanks for Keswick Mountain Rescue Team & Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team (LAMRT) for there assistance in this incident.
