As incident 16 was ongoing with the initial search for a missing walker, another call arrived from Cumbria Police about two walkers who were overdue after a walk up Pillar.
As any search for this was more likely to be in Ennerdale, and also due to the ongoing callout in progress near Broad Crag summit, Cockermouth MRT kindly agreed to take over ownership. Happily the missing walkers were located quickly in the Ennerdale valley. Many thanks to Cockermouth MRT for their help.
Incident started at 23:24 and ended at 00:20 making 0.9 hrs in total. There were 7 Wasdale team members involved. Total rescuer hours: 6
