CALLOUT 11 – Call to assist lost walkers on Pendle

At approximately 22:00 on Wednesday evening (01/04/2026), the team was called out to Pendle Hill to assist Lancashire Police with locating three walkers who had become lost.

Team members deployed onto the hill and, following a brief search, successfully located the group. One of the walkers had sustained a minor ankle injury; after assessment, they were able to continue with assistance from team members.

All three walkers were then safely escorted off the hill and returned to safety.

We would like to thank the attending Police officers for their assistance during the incident.

This incident serves as a reminder of how easy it is to lose your way, particularly after dark. Carrying appropriate navigation equipment, a torch, and planning your route in advance are essential for staying safe on the hills.
