The team were called out by Lancashire Police to a report of two overdue cavers (50 Y.O. & 19 Y.O.) in the Lost Johns’ cave system. CRO placed a full team call out for both underground members and surcace members to assist with logistics on the fell. A CRO Duty Controller (DC) liased on site with Lancashire Police and the reporting person (RP) to ascertain what the trip plans of the missing cavers had been. On gaining an understanding of the most likely potential locations of the party, two CRO teams were tasked with commencing the underground search. Fortunately, the missing party were soon located, and found to be well and in good spirits. They were able to make their way unassisted out of the cave, accompanied by CRO team members.
Once back on the fell, the cavers, were warmed up with hot drinks before being able to make their own way back to their weekend accommodation.
