Five walkers have been rescued in Cumbria - after getting stuck on England's highest mountain.
They made a emergency call in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The group had travelled from North Yorkshire to Scafell Pike in the Lake District- but ended up in waist deep snow.
Mountain Rescue teams were called - after they received an emergency satellite message from one of group's iPhone - reporting themselves close to hypothermia.
They say the outcome could've been much worse.
It's as weather condition continue to be treacherous in some places - with a yellow warning for snow and ice remaining in place until midday today (Monday).
