We were called at 19:54 during Storm Dennis, to assist a couple in difficulty on the southern edge of Kinder Scout. They were well equipped but had made an error of judgement. They thought they were in the Woolpacks area and after getting a GPS fix on them through the SARLOC system, this was confirmed.
In pretty atrocious conditions our hill parties were despatched and the couple were found safe. After warming them up in our shelter, they were walked off to our vehicles at Edale Cross before being driven down to Hayfield for some warm drinks. We then returned them to their car in Edale and finished at 00:15
