The woman got lost coming down from Red Pike

A walker was rescued after getting lost as darkness fell on a Lake District hillside.

The 44-year-old woman called for help on Saturday after she became disoriented while coming down Red Pike overlooking Buttermere.

Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team was called out at 4.50pm and 20 of its volunteers were involved in the search for the walker.

A team spokesperson said: “She was located just above the intake wall not far from Scale Force, and walked off the hill.”
