A woman attempting the Three Peaks Challenge abandoned it after coming across a lone walker in distress.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were called out to Brown Tongue on Scafell Pike at around 9pm on May 3.
In a social media post, published today, Sunday, May 18, the team said: “We were called when a lone walker had fainted and was then having difficulty breathing and shivering.
“A very kind passer-by had stopped to help and called it in.
“Once the team was on scene an assessment was made. She was transferred to the team stretcher and then a routine carry was made to Brackenclose. After further assessment by an awaiting ambulance crew the walker was able to be discharged.
“We hope the walker has recovered well and would like to recognise the walker who gave up her Three Peaks Challenge to provide help to someone in need.”
