A young scout who was exhausted and struggling needed help from Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team volunteers.
Team volunteers were called at about 2pm yesterday, January 15, to the assistance of the scout, who was finding it hard to continue to walk.
The young casualty was part of a scout group who were doing a walk around Angle Tarn from Hartsop.
The rescue team leader made phone contact with the scout leader.
The youngster was not injured and the group were directed to a short cut to take them off the hill back towards Hartsop.
The group then managed to safely make their way down.
