A short alert for the Team Leader when Cumbria Police was called about three walkers who had asked for help high on Scafell Pike. A poor signal meant the information received was patchy. It appeared that they may have been caught in a wintry shower or that winter conditions underfoot were causing concern.
However, a short while later, a further call was received stating that they were now out of danger and did not require MR assistance.

Ask yourself three questions before you set off:

3. Am I confident that I have the KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS for the day?
