Four young males called for help when they became overwhelmed by weather conditions while attempting to camp on Crinkle Crags. They were located and escorted off by team members.

The team were alerted by Patterdale MRT, who had initially received a call by Cumbria Police, to two campers at Angle Tarn. On deeper investigation it was discovered that the campers were, in fact, at Angle Tarn in Great Langdale. The job was then handed over to LAMRT. Team members were dispatched to assist with taking down their tents and walking them back down safely to the valley floor.

We were made aware of a walker who had got lost in the bad weather, they initially pitched their tent in an attempt to wait out the bad weather and descend in the morning. However, the tent began to leak so they requested our assistance. After a conversation on the phone with members of our team the walker was able to successfully navigate off the hill and was monitored remotely back to their vehicle.

We received a report from CUMPOL that two walkers were lost in the vicinity of Ore gap after low cloud had caused them to lose their way. The team made their way up and made contact with the lost walkers, who were not aware where they had parked. After looking through photos they had taken throughout their day the team were able to decipher where the walkers had parked and provided them with assistance back to the valley floor and then drove them to their vehicles.
