Two young men were reported missing yesterday after a family member was concerned for their whereabouts.

The 19 and 20-year-old males had travelled to the Lake District on Saturday to climb Scafell Pike.

They were reported missing shortly after 9pm.

Once they were reported missing, Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team started to search for the pair.

The two were described as "relatively inexperienced", and it was apparently "unclear what they had in the way of equipment".

Their car was located at Seathwaite, and the assistance of Keswick Mountain Rescue was requested.

A Coastguard helicopter from Prestwick was also part of the search, as were two dogs from Lake District Mountain Rescue Searchdogs.

The pair were found unhurt - but cold and lost - in the early hours of Sunday morning.

They were found near to Skew Gill by Keswick Search Dog and her handler, Isla.

After they were found, they were airlifted down to Seathwaite to retrieve their vehicle.

A statement from Keswick Mountain Rescue Team said: "Hillgoers should be aware that full winter conditions apply on the hill, with some patches of deep snow, and should plan accordingly, allowing plenty of daylight for their activities."
