Getting lost is far from unusual and happens often.
Getting lost is not always the problem – not being able to recover from being lost often can be.
Here are a few hints and tips to get you on your way safely.

Stop – do not go any further

Stay calm, getting lost happens

Establish location if possible

Create a plan and once you have a plan, communicate it to all.

Keep your group together

Ensure a mobile phone is on at all times, switch off those not needed - conserve battery power. 

Call 999 ask for Mountain Rescue and follow their instruction

iPhone users download SARLOC (MR will use it to locate you)

Conduct a resources check, food, clothing and water shared equally.

Identify a location that Mountain Rescue can access

Check available daylight and use that time wisely

Find a place to stay safe overnight should you be benighted

Ensure emergency kit, torch and spare batteries are easily accessible

Take a compass bearing to your last known position

Use 6 whistle blasts per min for rescue, heard replies are 3 blasts

To send a TEXT to 999 Send the word “register” to 999 You will receive a message about the service.

When you have read the message, reply with ‘yes’ (in a text message to 999) You will receive a further message confirming registration

If sending someone for help always send at least 2 people and ensure no one is left on their own. 

Torchlight – as per whistle blasts, flash the light 6 times per minute.

If rescued by helicopter shine the light onto the ground not at the helicopter.

Remain calm, remain focused and remain positive.
