A relatively brief callout after Cumbria Police called us about a pair of walkers benighted in Eskdale without head torches.
This time Phonefind gave a nice result, with a location not too far from the Wha House car park (quite often at this time of night it turns out to be at the edge of our area with a five mile walk in!). Two local team members were asked to attend to locate and escort the walkers back to the road. It was also good practice for Jess in thick bracken and boulders with a find for her quickly made.
Incident started at 22:20 and ended at 01:05 making 2.8 hrs in total. There were 3 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 20200 01600. Total rescuer hours: 8
