Five Patterdale Members had just returned to their base from a snowy walk on Helvellyn, when the call out came in. It was quickly established that the incident was in the Keswick MRT area and the incident was transferred to their control.

Due to KMRT initially being low on responding team members and the seriousness of the incident, KMRT requested assistance. The 5 Patterdale members then travelled to the Thirlmere valley to assist. The rescue lasted 5 hrs.
