A call was received from Cumbria Police yesterday evening. Three walkers were expected to have been in contact with a friend after climbing Scafell Pike. The friend was increasingly concerned for their safety as he could not get in touch via mobile phone. Fortunately as the Team Leader was gathering information the missing walkers sent a text message to let him know they had successfully returned to their vehicles and were preparing to set off home.
Incident started at 22:21 and ended at 22:50 making 0.5 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved. Total rescuer hours: 0.5
