A second alert from Cumbria Police yesterday, with a walking party of 11 people seeking assistance to get to Seathwaite having become lost on the descent on the Corridor Route from Scafell Pike.
The coordinates from the call to the police put them close to the old Sty Head path in Wasdale. With the cloud base well above them, the Team Leader gave advice that the shortest route to safety was to Wasdale Head and then a taxi ride back to Borrowdale. This would be visible downhill from their location. The police relayed this message and the log was closed.
Incident started at 20:21 and ended at 21:02 making 0.7 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved and the incident occured at NY 21670 09054. Total rescuer hours: 0.7
