Crinkle Crags and Bowfell

A man and wife in their 40's became lost and used a mobile phone to dial 999 for help. They had no map or compass, and not much common sense. They claimed to be on Bowfell, heading north, but we couldn't find them, and they were eventually escorted off by other walkers never to be seen again. We still don't know where they were, but they definitely weren't on Bowfell. Assisted by a helicopter from RAF Boulmer.

Two men were reported overdue. They phoned from Brotherikeld to say that they were safe and getting back to Langdale by taxi, as initial enquiries were being made.
