We were called by Cumbria Police about two walkers with a dog reporting themselves soaking wet, cold and lost on Scafell Pike.
However the police call coordinates put them on the flanks of Sca Fell above Black Crag. After advice from the Team Leader the walkers continued their descent downhill and once below the cloud base and within sight of the car park they were content to continue unaided and the team was stood down.
#BeAdventureSmart and make a good day better.
Ask yourself three questions before you set off:
1. Do I have the right GEAR ?
2. Do I know what the WEATHER will be like?
3. Am I confident that I have the KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS for the day?
