A lone, novice walker (m, 16) rang NYP to say that he was lost near Gaping Gill. He had been out for six hours and was getting cold, although he said he was in appropriate clothing. With 10% battery on his phone, the call dropped out before the Force Control Room staff could elicit more information. CRO members took two vehicles nearer to Gaping Gill, set off on foot and soon found the ‘misper’. He was guided back to CRO 4 (the Honda Pioneer) and driven down to CRO Base in Clapham. He was given helpful advice which seemed to be well received.
