Middleboot Knotts, Scafell Pike – Mon 6th Mar 2023

We were called yesterday evening about a lone walker who had lost his bearings on the descent from Scafell Pike and was now very cold and exhausted. He had a tent and sleeping bag so was able to shelter on what was a very cold night at high elevation. Fortunately a location was obtained from the original call to Cumbria Police so a limited callout was made. Once on scene the team provided additional warm clothing and then escorted the walker back down to safety in the Wasdale valley.
