Just three minutes after being alerted to incident 40, we recieved our next page via cumbria police – this is incident four of a busy Easter Saturday.

A 54 year old female who was three days into walking the Cumbria Way thought she would be protected in the woods below Castle Crag in Borrowdale for her wild camp. Unfortunately the gusts of Storm Dave got the better of her sleeping arrangements and destroyed her camp. The woman rang 999 and asked for Mountain Rescue in order to seek advice. She was advised to walk north towards Grange where a team met her and took her to Keswick to find accommodation.
