Coniston Mountain Rescue Team were called out to help two men whose car had slid into a wall off a Lake District track.
The men, in a two-wheel drive hatchback were driving between Little Langdale and Tilberthwaite yesterday, Thursday February 27.
Coniston Mountain Rescue Team, who were called at around 3.15pm, said: “They decided to turn back, but slid off the track into a wall and called for help.
“Although we do not normally recover vehicles in this capacity, we agreed to assist due to the fact one of the men had a health condition which could have resulted in concern had we not been able to help.
“We despatched two Land Rovers, and towed/pushed their vehicle back onto the track. 10 volunteer members attended this incident, which lasted for an hour and 45 minutes.”
