A SEARCH began after a young boy was separated from his family yesterday (December 28).
The eight-year-old was walking with his family on Loughrigg Fell, near Ambleside, when he became separated.
Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team were called to assist in the search at 3.58pm.
A spokesperson for the team said: "A hasty search was organised due to freezing conditions and rapidly approaching darkness."
But the boy was located by a motorist after making his way to the road.
