KESWICK's Mountain Rescue Team came to the rescue of a Border Collie stuck on a ledge on the Lake District's Crag Hill.  

The dog became trapped while descending steep ground with its owner,  who was following a route on his Garmin device (November 24). 

Unable to climb back up to the dog, the owner called for help. 

A spokesperson for the team said: "In blustery conditions, the team made their way up to Eel Crag on the side of Crag Hill from Force Crag Mines.

"The lead party went above the location and rope rigged to lower a team member down to the dog.

"Other team members went around the base of the steep ground to help guide the upper party to the location, before climbing up to the dog’s owner who was cold but otherwise fine.

"The dog was then lowered from the crag in a purpose-made dog rescue bag.

"Everyone then walked down to the team vehicles at Force Crag Mine."

The team was met with another challenge as a fallen tree blocked the road at the foot of Whinlatter Pass.

"The urgent call of dinner gave strength for team members to pull the offending limb aside, enough for us to continue on our way," a spokesperson said.
