A MOUNTAIN Rescue team came to the aid of a group of lost walkers.

Wasdale MRT was called out to assist the walkers who were quickly located. 

A spokesperson said: "A call was received from North West Ambulance Service about a party of four walkers who were uninjured, lost and cold.

"They were struggling to find their way to safety and requested help. Coordinates were able to be converted from the 999 calls.

"The team was called out and mobilised to Upper Eskdale and made their way to the given location. The walkers were found as expected, rewarmed, and were then able to walk themselves back out of the valley to the team vehicles and back to base."
