Keswick MRT received a call from Cumbria Police which was confirmed to be in our area and passed through quickly. A walker on the Scafell Pike summit plateau was reporting people about 1.5km away on a ridge line near Lords Rake shouting for help. An accurate bearing was also taken from his location.
With no further information to go from the team was called out to investigate further. However, despite many conversations with other walkers on the ascent and then checking out Lords Rake, West Wall Traverse, and Deep Ghyll up to Sca Fell summit nothing of concern was found.
It was a false alarm with good intent, but a nice day for it nonetheless with some stunning views.
Incident started at 14:15 and ended at 18:00 making 3.8 hrs in total. There were 15 Wasdale team members involved. Total rescuer hours: 57
