Dozens rescue couple lost on Scafell Pike
BBC Radio Cumbria
More than 70 mountain rescue team members were involved in a 12-hour search for a couple lost on Scafell Pike on Tuesday night.
Chris Gillyan from Keswick Mountain Rescue Team, who led the search, said the conditions were so severe at one point the operation had to be suspended because rescuers "couldn't stand up in the driving rain".
The couple were extremely cold but otherwise unhurt, the rescue service said.
In all, the operation involved seven mountain rescue teams, six search dogs and a coastguard helicopter.

Gusts of 50-60mph and up to 70mph on coasts and hills. Travel could be disrupted and some damage to trees and buildings is also possible.
Snow is expected over high ground. Accumulations of 3-6cm are likely above 200m (650ft) with 10cm or more above 300m (980 ft). At low levels, 1-3cm in places.

The facts about Copeland ahead of tomorrow's by-election
Bob Cooper
Political reporter, BBC Cumbria
The home of England's highest mountain and deepest lake... and other interesting facts about Copeland - the place politicians are currently scrapping over.
The company behind a plan to create one of the world's largest battery-power storage facilities says work will start on site in Barrow next month.
The former Roosecote Power Station will be redeveloped by Centrica to top-up demand for electricity during periods of high demand.
The 49MW stored in the batteries will be able to kick in within a second at times of peak demand and able to power about 50,000 homes, the company said.

Flood victims in Workington fear their homes will be hit again
Theresa May has been drawn into the row over a petition on the West Cumberland Hospital.
Yesterday, a campaign group took a petition signed by 30,000 people to Downing Street.
During Prime Minister's Questions earlier, Labour MP for Bolton South East, Yasmin Quereshi, said the group was not allowed to take it to Number 10 itself.
The Prime Minister accused the MP of getting her facts wrong: "The petition was accepted by Number 10 yesterday so I suggest to the honourable lady that she considers what she said in her question."
It was triggered by the resignation of Labour's Jamie Reed last month. There's also a by-election in Stoke.
Head of politics at University of Liverpool, Dr Stuart Wilks-Heeg, said: "Clearly the Labour Party has the most to lose in both of these places. These have been Labour seats for a very long time and it's very unusual for the main opposition party to lose a by-election."
The polls open at 07:00 tomorrow.

Plasma trial success for Great North Air Ambulance
Three people probably would have died without a new blood plasma treatment which is now being extended, an air ambulance has said.
Since May 2016, one of the Great North Air Ambulance Service's two helicopters has been using plasma when treating patients with blood.
The charity said a review of five months data has proved a success so will now also use it on both aircraft. Plasma helps form blood clots and stop bleeding.
