Cumbria Police alerted us to a lone walker who was lost having taken a wrong turn in the mist, and was now wet and increasingly cold. He had also then come across another party of three in a similar predicament. The initial coordinates obtained from the call to the police put them in Upper Eskdale. However, as a group they then managed to walk from their location back to the road, from where they took a taxi ride to their intended destination in Wasdale. The Team Leader was monitoring progress and stood down when it was confirmed they were all safely en-route by taxi.
This callout also confirms that 2023 is now the busiest year ever for the team.
