'It is doubtful if we alone without Isla would have found the couple' Rescue dog praised for finding lost walkers on England's highest mountain
Mountain rescuers said finding a pair of lost walkers near England's highest mountain would have been "doubtful" without the team's dog.
The spokesman said the couple and their dog had made it to the top of Scafell Pike from Seathwaite "in good time" but "got a bit confused" as they descended and ended up in Wasdale.They tried to correct their mistake but got lost near Sty Head Pass and one of the party suffered a panic attack on the steep ground.
"The team searched the area on the Borrowdale side of Sty Head Tarn with no luck so proceeded to the stretcher box on Sty Head Pass from where a plan was being formulated to split up and search different paths," the spokesman said.
