A call was received from Cumbria Police about two walkers who were overdue from a walk up Scafell Pike. A family member was concerned for their safety. The Team Leader started to gather information and put the team on standby, however, shortly afterwards the good news was received that the walkers had descended safely and were heading home in their car. They hadn’t been able to make contact earlier due to lack of mobile signal. A good and swift outcome.
Incident started at 21:18 and ended at 22:07 making 0.8 hrs in total. There were 2 Wasdale team members involved. Total rescuer hours: 1.6
