A MOUNTAIN rescue team assisted a pair of walkers as they descended Scafell Pike. 

Wasdale MRT assisted the walkers as they made their way down the mountain. 

In a post on social media, Wasdale MRT wrote: "A call was received from Cumbria Police about two walkers who had mis-navigated on the descent from Scafell Pike.

"Our friends from Duddon and Furness MRT had agreed to cover the patch as many members of the team were attending the happy event of the wedding of our medical officer and our IT officer.

"They successfully resolved the incident and were back at their base for the early evening."
