A call was received from a walker that had become separated from the rest of her walking party, and then lost the path on the summit plateau. She was cold and wet and concerned for her safety with very poor visibility.
The Team Leader was able to confirm her location by Phonefind and then guide her towards the stretcher box at Mickledore. Here she took shelter, whilst a small party of team members was tasked to help.
Once on scene, the walker was reassured and rewarmed before being supported down the steep section of Mickledore gully. From here steady progress was made in very wet conditions to Brackenclose where she was reunited with the rest of her walking party.
The team stood down and returned to base to fill the drying room once more.
Incident started at 13:35 and ended at 20:30 making 6.9 hrs in total. There were 6 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 213071. Total rescuer hours: 41
