In reply to Herdwickmatt:
It was a great result. On reading the report a couple of things stood out.
He said, "I just got separated by getting caught in a really heavy hailstorm, a howling gale of wind.By the time I got my kit on it was getting really dark, so I missed what I would say was a turning."
A good reminder of just how easy it is to get separated and disorientated and for anyone with a group to keep an eye out for all the members. I wonder how long it was before the rest of the group realised he was missing
AND
"I had a plan B straight away, find somewhere safe to camp, put my tent up, keep warm, and that was it." A great illustration of being well prepared for almost any eventuality .
