Hikers high on magic mushrooms rescued in Lake District

Keswick mountain rescue team dispatched to bring men down fell after reports they were in trouble

The doughty men and women of Keswick mountain rescue are well used to helping walkers who have lost their way on the Lake District fells. But on the weekend they had to assist a group who had also lost their minds.

Just after noon on Saturday, the team were called to the Stoneycroft, Newlands and Seathwaite area of the national park following reports that a group of young men were in trouble after taking magic mushrooms.
