Agencies Involved: Keswick MRT, Cumbria Police

Keswick MR Team Leader was contacted by Cumbria Police on Sunday evening over concerns raised by a local resident about a tent pitched in a relatively inaccessible location above Alisongrass Hoghouse at Stonethwaite/Langstrath. The police requested an investigation/welfare check. With Storm Floris in full flow a small team drove to Fairy Glen to investigate. The team battled dense bracken and slippery rock to gain the tent site. The abandoned tent was found with mouldering contents including food, milk and a sodden sleeping bag. This was collected and brought down to be properly disposed of. Yet another case of fly campers!
