61 -The Duty Controller called tasking us with helping a pairs of walkers in the Crowden Tower area of the Kinder plateau, they had started their day out around 11am and summited Jacobs Ladder before following the edge path to the Downfall. They then decide to follow the old Pennie Way route through the plateau where they became lost.

We tried to use phone find technology to obtain a precise location however were unable to achieve this, our control were able to speak with the pair and managed to obtain other location data from their phone which provided us with an accurate position.

Hill parties were deployed to Edale Cross and then onto the casualty party location around Crowden Tower, they were soon found, the pair were well equipped and just a little cold. They were escorted back to Edale Cross and then down to base before onward travel to Edale.

62 – As callout 61 was progressing our team members at Edale Cross were approached by a disorientated walker looking for some advice and support, he didn’t have a torch and was struggling along. An additional hill party was dispatched up the Edale Cross track to provide some support and ensure he got down safely. The casualty was staying in the village and was escorted back to his accommodation
