The team leader tried to establish their position by phone but unfortunately it was not possible to get a good fix and a callout was mounted to search for the group. They were located below Criscliffe Knotts where they were re-warmed before being escorted back to their vehicle in the valley. 14 team members, incident closed 10:30 am
