- False Alarm, Piers Gill
After a relatively quiet spell the team were called three times on Saturday 26 November.
In the first call, a walker reported hearing shouts and whistles around the Piers Gill area. As this is a hazardous area with potentially very serious consequences, a full team callout was made quickly to cover all scenarios.
The team subsequently covered a number of search routes in detail, with nothing heard or found. With, the conclusion being a false alarm with good intent, a rather damp team returned to base to fill the drying room and restock the vehicles.
Incident started at 11:48 and ended at 18:19 making 6.5 hrs in total. There were 17 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 213079. Total rescuer hours: 111
