They were eventually confirmed as having arrived at the roadside in Grasmere

#beadventuresmart

Ask yourself 3 questions:

Do I have the skills for the day?

Do I know what the weather forecast will be?

Do I have the right equipment?

Not sure where to go with this one without sounding too cynical... An overseas couple were attempting to camp on Seat Sandal. They initially struggled to find flat ground and were feeling insecure, along with being suspicious of the intentions of the "mountain goats" (sheep, as we call them). After some difficult phone conversations, they were persuaded that staying put and toughing the night out was the better option, and then making their way down in the morning. (Preferable to us coming up for them, getting them out of their tent and walking them down on a dark wet night). At this stage we considered the incident was resolved... however...

Makes sure you have the correct skills
Make sure you have the right equipment

A group of four males phoned for help after getting in to difficulty at Esk Hause. The initial call was directed to Keswick MRT but after conversation, it was decided that it was best to try and get them down in to Langdale, so the problem was transferred to us. With much remote coaxing and direction, they were successfully steered towards Rossett Ghyll and down in to the valley, where they were met by a friend... a successful 'sofa' rescue. Sofa rescue: definition: a rescue whereby a team leader, making use of telephone, SARLOC and SARCALL is able to encourage or cajole a person or persons in to finding their own way down and avoids calling out the full team, or getting up from the sofa. Similar: self-rescue
