Brim Fell
A woman became lost on the summit plateau of Brim Fell in cloudy, wet conditions on 25 July 2026. Her position was established using the team's Phonefind system and she was given self-help directions to the summit of the Old Man of Coniston, where other walkers assisted her down. The team stood down en route as no further assistance was needed.
Outcome: located and guided down with assistance from other walkers
