The pair had become lost while out walking close to the summit of Fairfield.

Patterdale and Langdale-Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team members searched potential routes that the missing walkers may have taken to descend from the mountain.

As the search progressed the missing people were located close to the summit of Fairfield by members of Langdale-Ambleside MRT and after assessment on scene walked back off the mountain.
