A solo male reported himself in difficulty when his torch failed near High Raise. He was located by team members and escorted down. A long night
The team was alerted when a man with a "C.B." radio came across a 16 year old girl from Cheshire who had collapsed due to exhaustion. Assisted by Kendal M.R.T. and stretchered to N.D.G. Hotel, then by private transport back to O.P. Centre.
A man became benighted on on High Raise. He phoned for help and a search was instigated. With help from SARDA and Keswick MRT he was located near the summit just after 9pm. He was escorted down and taken to his accommodation in Grasmere. If he'd remembered to pack a torch, he'd have been alright!
We played hide and seek with three men for over 5 hours after they were unable to find a way down from Hight Raise.
A couple contacted the Police to say that they were lost on Helm Crag near a 'monument'.
A couple set off from Grasmere to go to Sergeant Man, but got lost in the High Raise area when the path was obliterated by snow. During the early stages of the search the couple came across a group who knew where they where, and the way down. They were assisted towards Langdale and met by team members at Stickle Tarn
