Lake District mountain rescue volunteers were called out to help search for a missing man who had gone to look for his dropped phone.

Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team were called at around 11.55pm on Friday to Glenridding Dodd.

The caller and their partner had climbed the Dodd in the evening, returning to their car on Greenside Road at about 9.30pm.

The light was starting to fade and they discovered they had lost their phone. The man told his partner to wait at the car and keep calling the phone and set off to retrace their steps, without a torch or waterproof clothing.

His partner waited at the car for two hours, but as they did not return, the partner called the police.

Four members of Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team assembled to climb Glenridding Dodd to search for the missing person.

They returned at 3am, having found no trace of him.

The team had contacted the Lake District Search Dogs Association and started to organise a more extensive and structured search for first light.

Shortly afterwards the police received a call from a member of the public in Glenridding. The missing person had been found in the centre of the village, wet and cold, with cuts and bruises, but otherwise uninjured.

The missing phone was found on Sunday, still working and with 50% charge, the team reported.

During that call out, the team was alerted by police at around 1am that an 18-year-old had been taken ill with persistent vomiting while camping near Grisedale Tarn.

The team said: “A full call out of the team was initiated, but given the other incident ongoing assistance was requested from Penrith Mountain Rescue Team and a Coastguard helicopter.

“Six Patterdale and seven Penrith team members made their way up the Grisedale Valley to the tarn where they located the casualty’s tent.

“The casualty was assessed and treated by a team doctor before being put into a stretcher and loaded into the helicopter which managed to fly into the col, beneath the cloud ceiling.

“The casualty was flown down to the playing field in Patterdale, while their companions were escorted back down by the team.”
