Wasdale Mountain Rescue was called out to Scafell Pike to help two walkers who were overdue on their return.
A family member had contacted the emergency services because they were concerned about their safety.
A spokesperson said: "A call was received from Cumbria Police about two walkers who were overdue from a walk up Scafell Pike.
A family member was concerned for their safety. The Team Leader started to gather information and put the team on standby, however, shortly afterward the good news was received that the walkers had descended safely and were heading home in their car.
"They hadn’t been able to make contact earlier due to lack of mobile signal. A good and swift outcome."
