Two people with two dogs reported themselves stranded on the path down over the crags at the southern end (‘the sharp end’) of Pen y ghent in very strong wind. They asked the Police for Mountain Rescue, but as members were preparing to set out, the duty controller received a call to say that they had been assisted by other walkers and were returning to the summit before taking the easier path down to Horton in Ribblesdale via Horton Scar Lane. The team stood down.
