Dave and Will Garratt went to the Lake District for a father-and-son camping trip during the Easter holidays. They hiked for three hours before deciding to set up camp and settle down for the night near Sprinkling Tarn on Seathwaite Fell.
They'd planned to reach the summit in the next day but during the night things took a turn for the worse. Will started feeling unwell at 4am and began profusely vomiting, and was unable to eat or drink anything - not even water.
Speaking to Lancs Live, Dave said: “It was an amazing, clear night which meant that we were able to enjoy some stargazing. Unfortunately, Will woke at 4am vomiting. This was quite sudden and severe, but being dark and -1 degree Celsius outside, we had no option other than to wait it out and keep warm.
