Incident 5. The Team was called out by the Police at 13:46 to assist with a lost family group of 4 people in the area of Buckland Monachorum. After checking the W3W location, confirming with a Phonefind and speaking to the lost party on the phone, we were able to ascertain that they were quite close to a road but they were unsure how to get back to their car. The party were uninjured and generally fine but a little cold and tired. We deployed three team members to meet the party to offer support and shelter, and called Devon &Cornwall 4×4 Response to provide on road transport for the group.
The group was loaded into DC4x4’s vehicle and after a little bit of driving around, the group’s vehicle was located and they were able to drive themselves home. All members and DC4x4 were stood down at 16:52.
