Walkers have been warned not to use smartphones for directions after man became lost in treacherous conditions in the Lake District. More than 70 people took part in an operation to rescue him - with a mountain rescue team saying he was "very, very fortunate" to survive.
The man got into trouble on the ridge between Scafell Pike and Great End and first called for help at 6.30pm on Monday. However the poor weather conditions meant he was not located until 2.30pm the following day.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team was called in by Cumbria Police and made contact with him despite a weak mobile phone signal. They advised him to stay where he was and shelter from the wind.
