RESCUE crews were dispatched to reach a young walker who had run into distress while on Satura Crags.

The Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was called today at around 2pm to reach a young scout who was exhausted and struggled to continue to walk.

The young casualty was part of a scout group who were doing a walk around Angle Tarn from Hartsop.

The team leader made phone contact with the scout leader. Fortunately the young scout was not injured and the group were directed to a short cut to take them off the hill back towards Hartsop.

The group then managed to safely make their way down.
