Loughrigg Fell

A man slipped on waterlogged ground and sustained a suspected lower leg fracture

A search was made of Loughrigg Fell, Ambleside, after two white flares had been seen high on the fell, by people living in Ambleside. A search was made by team members with search dogs. The search was called off at 2.45 a.m. on 18th February and nothing was found. Footnote: Once again, reports of flares remain unsolved and are proving to be a mystery. The weather was misty with drizzle and the ground was very wet.

Two young lads, one with asthma, went for a walk on Loughrigg and failed to return. A search was being organised when they turned up, 4 hours overdue. Dad seemed a bit vague about it all.
