A group of walkers was rescued after getting stuck on a Lake District mountain.
The three called for help from Great Gable after they got into difficulties on the steep descent on loose ground of the White Napes ridge.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team was alerted at 7.40pm yesterday and went to the trio’s aid.
A team spokesperson said: “We were able to locate them from a flashing light then climbed up to the location.
“Once on scene the three walkers were provided with helmets and climbing harnesses before being walked off on short ropes by team members.”
The rescue lasted almost four hours and involved 12 volunteer team members.
