Mountain rescuers were deployed for several hours after a walker felt unable to walk over a boulder field.
Cumbria police called Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team (WMRT) on April 27 at 2.33pm about a party of four walkers attempting to walk around Wastwater.
But, WMRT said, one of the walkers was 'struggling to negotiate the boulder field and felt their could not continue in either direction'.
"A full callout was made and a shore party and boat team were tasked to help.
"On arrival, one group of two had reversed their route to easier ground back to Wasdale Head, and the others were transferred by boat to the pump house at the western end of the lake to complete their walk," a WMRT spokesperson said.
The callout lasted four hours and 20 minutes and involved 14 WMRT members.
