A group of men who took magic mushrooms while walking in the Lake District had to be helped by a mountain rescue team. The Keswick Mountain Rescue team was called out after some of the walkers started to feel unwell after their overindulgence.
The rescuers said they received a "number of calls" about the group from passers-by who were concerned for their welfare. The team found the men and helped them return to their vehicle. They were given advice about their onward journey, reports LancsLive.
A spokesperson for Keswick Mountain Rescue team said: "A number of calls were received via passers by, who had come across a group of young adult males who had taken magic mushrooms. Two in the group were feeling unwell including the driver in the party. The casualties were walked down and given advice by the team medic regarding the timing of their onward travel."
It wasn't the only call over the Easter weekend. On the evening on Saturday (April 8), four walkers were descending the Styhead Tarn path towards Seathwaite when the walker hurt their ankle and had a panic attack. The team were located and shown back to their car at Seathwaite.
