FOUR walkers had to be helped down from Ingleborough by Cave Rescue Organisation volunteers.
The three women and one man, who were attempting to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks, were guided to safety by a CRO team from Clapham.
The organisation was alerted at 8.40pm on Sunday by the walkers, who were lost on their way down from Ingleborough to Horton-in-Ribblesdale. It was beginning to get dark, they had neither map or compass, and just one head torch between them.
A CRO spokesman said: "While trying to establish their location, a small party of team members set off from Horton to check the area leading back to Sulber Nick. Eventually contact with the group was established, and a Global Positing System (GPS) location on The Allotment was confirmed.
"Team members from Clapham collected the group and escorted them down, while the other team members were stood down."
