In two inter-twined callouts we were tasked by NWAS to rescue overdue walkers from two groups.
In the first callout a single walker was reported overdue. He had joined another two walkers from a different group on the descent. The rest of the group had returned successfully to Brackenclose. As communications were difficult, two team members travelled to Brackenclose to get a better understanding of the circumstances first hand.
Incident started at 04:23 and ended at 11:24 making 7 hrs in total. There were 16 Wasdale team members involved. Total rescuer hours: 112
