disorientated walker Lake District

Kershope Forest

A solo walker became disorientated on the open fell above Kershope Forest due to fatigue, heat and rough terrain. After initial phone contact, a small team was deployed to assist. The walker was provided with food and water, then accompanied off the fell and returned to his vehicle.

Outcome: walked off the fell with team assistance, returned to vehicle

Support the team who responded. They turn out unpaid, in all weather — every team is a volunteer-run charity.
