In the first of 4 calls from Cumbria Police in quick succession on Friday evening, two walkers reported themselves lost, very cold, wet and concerned for their safety. Their intended route was to Scafell Pike but a Phonefind located them on the flanks of Scafell just above Rakehead Crag. With decent mobile signal this allowed a ‘talk off’ downhill to Brackenclose and safety.
Incident started at 16:39 and ended at 18:31 making 1.9 hrs in total. There were 3 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY196068. Total rescuer hours: 6
