We were alerted by Cumbria Police about a walker whose footwear had unfortunately suffered a malfunction and they were attempting to descend from Scafell Pike barefoot. Thankfully, with some encouragement from the Team Leader they managed to repair the offending item sufficiently to make slow progress down by themselves, and the team were not needed to help.
