Two Three Peaks walkers (f, 23; f, 22) reported themselves benighted near the ruinous Nick Pot shooting hut on the route from Ingleborough to Horton in Ribblesdale. The battery of one of their mobile phones was completely flat and the other was failing rapidly; they were using it as a torch, to find their way over a rough section of the path. Two team members drove up Crummackdale and to within 100m of the walkers in CRO 4 (the ATV) then took them down to Crummack Farm. Here, they transferred to CRO 3 (Land Rover) for the drive back to Horton.
No rescue team members were savaged during the rescue of the walkers’ man-hating terrier but it wasn’t for want of trying!
