Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team and Great North Air Ambulance Service were called to the scene near Hollow Stones
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were alerted at 11.40am on Saturday after receiving an 'urgent call' from Cumbria Police. Officers said the male walker 'had chest pain and was having difficulty breathing' and the caller suspected they were having a heart attack.
In a statement, a WMRT spokesperson said: "An urgent call was received yesterday from Cumbria Police about a walker who had chest pain and was having difficulty breathing. A heart attack was suspected by the caller. "The cloud base was fortunately just high enough, and the helicopter crew were able to access a flat area to land above Hollow Stones, leaving only about 200m to walk to the casualty. They assessed and treated him, however, unfortunately his condition still required a stretcher carry to the helicopter.
