The team were alerted by Cumbria Police regarding a concerned relative who had themselves received a distress call from a party of two walkers attempting to climb Scafell Pike. There was reference to a stretcher box, so team members were tasked with searching routes close to Sty Head and also Mickledore. Keswick MRT searched routes up to Sty Head from their side. As further team members were starting to expand the search area into Eskdale, the good news was received that the walkers had been found sheltering in the stretcher box itself. The walkers were then escorted back down to safety in the Wasdale valley.

Incident started at 13:41 and ended at 21:24 making 7.7 hrs in total. There were 13 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 211 069. Total rescuer hours: 100
