Fairfield/tounge ghyll/rydal area

Incident Report #69 1994

A search was initiated when a man staying in Patterdale reported that two young scouts were in trouble on the high fells with "heat stroke". The team searched a wide area and they were eventually found descending into the Rydal Valley accompanied by two fell walkers who had found them at 2700 feet. The leading adult scouts were not with the group, but we found them as well and took them back to Low Fold for a 'major debrief'!!!
