Seathwaite (123)
Callout Date: 30/10/2024
Callout Time: 5:56 pm
Agencies Involved: Keswick MRT
The onset of darkness was causing great concern for a couple descending Scafell Pike without adequate lights, so they called 999 requesting help. The call-out initially went to Wasdale MRT but this was passed to Keswick as they had made progress into our patch. Poor mobile reception made contacting the couple very difficult so Keswick sent a small team out to escort the couple off the hill. As the team arrived at Seathwaite we heard from the police that they had made it down and were safely back at their car.
