RESCUE: Scafell Pike in the Lake District. Picture: Pixabay
Two walkers were found by a mountain rescue team after taking a photo of their location.
The two walkers climbed Scafell Pike on Saturday, and were descending at about 3.30pm. They were well equipped and had head torches, but lost their way. Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were alerted, and a small team was put together, including Jess, the search dog.
One of the lost walkers had taken a photo at their location, and had sent it to their father.
The father then forwarded the picture to the team leader, which confirmed they were near Burnmoor Tarn.
The two walkers were then discovered by Jess, near to Brackenclose, before being met by the other team members.
The incident was closed just before 6pm.
