Wasdale Mountain Reacue took to the water to rescue two groups of walkers who had got into difficulties around Wast Water.

Cumbria Police received a call about a party of four walkers, in two separate groups, attempting to walk around Wast Water on April 27.

However, one of the walkers was struggling to negotiate the boulder field and felt they could not continue in either direction.

A full callout for Wasdale Mountain Rescue was made with a shore party and boat team were tasked to help.

On arrival, one group of two had reversed their route to easier ground back to Wasdale Head, and the others were transferred by boat to the pump house at the western end of the lake to complete their walk.

Wasdale Mountain Rescue like the other teams around Cumbria rely on the public for support to provide the service they do.
