A spokesperson for Coniston Mountain Rescue Team said: "It was a showery but mild early evening when the Team convened at the Base ready for a long and possibly difficult search.
"However, fortunately we were able to make contact with the lady who was safe and well.
"She had got lost but with the help of other walkers had managed to find her way down to Hardknott Pass.
"She was then able to get a lift to Ambleside, and make the necessary calls once she had a phone signal. The Team was stood down."
The search took nine hours with search lasting under 30 minutes.
