We were called by Cumbria Police about a walker who was overdue from a walk on Great Gable. His father had become concerned that he had not returned when expected.
Happily, after a few phone calls, it was established that the father and son had somehow missed each other and the son was off the hill safe and well.
Incident started at 17:33 and ended at 18:11 making 0.6 hrs in total. There were 2 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 211103. Total rescuer hours: 1.2
