A MOUNTAIN Rescue team responded to a 'false alarm.'
Wasdale MRT was contacted after it was noticed that there were flashing lights in the Great Gable area.
A spokesperson said: "A call was received from Cumbria Police via Cockermouth MRT who were originally assigned the call.
"A group of walkers could see lights that appeared to them to be flashing on the climbers traverse path on Great Gable and they were concerned that they were trying to summon help.
"A team member in the valley was tasked to observe further. After watching for a while progress from the group was steady, their lights did not appear to be flashing and they were in direct sight of Wasdale Head. A false alarm with good intent."
