A call was received yesterday regarding two walkers who had not returned to their accommodation as planned, following an overnight trip to Pillar the day before. The Team Leader made some enquiries and established that they had stayed at a local youth hostel. A couple of hours later their vehicle had left the accommodation so the log was closed. A good outcome.
Incident started at 11:04 and ended at 14:00 making 2.9 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved. Total rescuer hours: 2.9
