Incident 11 of 2025:-
28/03/25, 14.32, Old Man of Coniston, SD274971
Spring was on hold, with cold temperatures, squally winds and even hail in the valley. A couple had reached the summit of the Old Man and started to descend to the south, but lost the path, became concerned and called for help. We despatched two Land Rovers to approach their approximate location from two sides. Having reached them, extra clothing was provided and they were helped down the fell to our vehicles, and then to our base to warm up.
15 volunteer members attended this incident, which lasted for around two hours.
