A walker lost in the Lake District this morning was swiftly saved by a local mountain rescue team.
Patterdale MRT received a message from police just after 11am this morning (Sunday June 30) informing them of a person lost on Hallin fell asking for advice.
The team were training in the Ullswater Valley at the time but quickly diverted to Hallin.
The walker was attempting to reach the summit of Hallin Fell but came off the path and ended up in very high bracken, which led to them becoming disoriented.
Patterdale MRT talked with them and helped guide them back to the lake shore bath via a slightly adventurous route down fighting through the bracken.
They were then able to compete the rest of their journey on their own.
This involved four team members for just over one hour.
