Several Mountain Rescue Teams have worked together to reunite a couple who got separated while walking in the Lake District.
The Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were called by Police at 9pm on Thursday the 31st of March about the two walkers, after they became separated whilst ascending Scafell Pike.
One of the pair had failed to turn up back at their car.
Due to the freezing temperatures that night and poor forecast for the next morning it was decided to mount a search that night.
As the point last seen was somewhere near Esk Hause, implying the missing walker may have gone in many different directions, the Langdale team also came out to check the Angle Tarn route and an S-92 helicopter from Prestwick also joined the search.
Unfortunately nothing was found that night.
The search was then ramped up in the morning, with Keswick and Duddon & Furness teams joining, along with the Lake District Mountain Resce Search Dogs and a fresh S-92 from Caernarfon.
As the rescuers were starting to deploy onto the mountain, the missing walker made their own way into the Old Dungeon Gill Hotel in Langdale.
After receiving some medical attention, the walker was reunited with their partner at 10.30am on Friday the 1st of April.
