A group of walkers called in to say they were lost on the top of Kinder Scout. After successfully navigating across the plateau, their route had taken longer than expected, the conditions had closed in and they were having trouble find the route down in to Edale. We despatched two search parties from Edale Cross along with Buxton Mountain Rescue team who covered the possible routes down in to Edale. Finally with the help of a SARCALL PhoneFind location, we were able to meet up with the group and escort them back to our vehicles at Edale Cross.
