Two wild campers helped rescue a lost walker in the Lake District.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue were called out on Tuesday at 6.33pm to Sty Head Path following a call from the North West Ambulance Service.
A male walker had reported that he was lost but the call dropped out and attempts to reconnect with the walker were unsuccessful.
A second call then came through to the team from Cumbria Police and the iPhone Emergency SOS System, which provided a location.
The man stopped responding to further messages, but had stated he was starting to feel unwell.
The rescue team were deployed but shortly after departing the vehicle, team members located the walker.
Two wild campers had come across the man and kindly offered to help guide him down.
The team then accompanied him back to his vehicle, while the campers continued with their planned overnight stay in the valley.
A Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team spokesman said: “Many thanks to the campers for assisting this person off the hill.”
The incident lasted two hours and 38 minutes and involved 14 team members.
