The team were alerted by Cumbria Police about a lone walker who had become disoriented near to Great Gable summit after a very long day out on the hill. Unfortunately on this occasion a Phonefind and direct contact wasn’t possible, and so a small team was tasked to locate him. Once in the area, they were able to find him relatively easily and then escorted him back down to safety of the valley.
Incident started at 21:40 and ended at 04:16 making 6.6 hrs in total. There were 6 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 209103. Total rescuer hours: 40
