Scafell Pike viewed from Great Moss/Upper Eskdale. David Harrison, Workington
VOLUNTEERS for a mountain rescue team were called on to assist a group of walkers on the Lake District fells last night.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were contacted by Cumbria Police yesterday evening to help a group of walkers who had become lost on their descent of Scafell Pike.
The team leader managed to establish their location by using an app and the team provided them with some directions so they could make their own way off the mountain.
