A MOUNTAIN rescue team was called out after a woman became lost on the fells.
Coniston Mountain Rescue Team was dispatched on Saturday to Birk Fell at around 3pm following reports of a lost woman.
Once the woman was located, she was given advice on the phone about finding her way off the fell.
A spokesman said: "We followed her progress to ensure she was heading in an appropriate direction. We then deployed one Land Rover with two team members to rendezvous with her in Greenburn, and once we had picked her up drove her to her car at the summit of Wrynose Pass for her onward journey home."
Six members attended and the incident took two hours and 11 minutes.
