Summarised from 4 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 19:34 · Archive

A woman heard shouts on a Lake District mountain route, prompting a rescue alert that was later stood down.

Shouts were heard on the Corridor Route, a popular ascent route up Scafell Pike, on 4 November. A concerned woman heard the shouts and reported them to Cumbria Police, who contacted Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team at 12.08pm.

Due to the limited information available and the absence of further reports from the public, the rescue team decided not to deploy a full response. However, two team members remained involved in managing the alert.

A spokesperson for Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team said: 'Despite the best efforts of the police and team leaders, it was not possible to obtain any further information about the location or the shouting.'

No further calls were received from members of the public. The incident was closed at 6.16pm after six hours and eight minutes of the alert being active. This was the 166th incident of the year for Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team.
