The team was contacted by the police to assist a pair of walkers who were stuck at the boulder field on the Wast Water Screes path. A limited callout was made and team members  walked to their location from the south-western end of the lake. The walkers had a large dog with them that would not continue over the loose, slippery boulders so they were walked back to the north-eastern end of the lake, a much easier, if longer walk. This is the second dog rescue from the screes in six months (see here for the other one).

Incident started at 18:02 and ended at 22:10 making 4.1 hrs in total. There were 12 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 15408 04755 (altitude 88 m). Total rescuer hours: 49
