Keswick Mountain Rescue Team has offered their condolences after a man died while out walking.
The team were called to an incident, on June, 26, just after 1pm to reports a man had fallen near Cat Ghyll.
The 71-year-old man had been walking with his wife alongside Cat Ghyll between Walla Crag and Falcon Crag when he fell and sustained fatal injuries.
A spokesman for KMRT said: "The man stumbled and fell from the path into the ghyll sustaining fatal injuries.
"Two passers-by climbed down to the man and attempted to help him.
"Members of the Keswick team arrived shortly after and despite their best efforts nothing could be done to save him.
"An extremely sad and unfortunate incident and our deepest thoughts and sympathy go to the man’s wife, family and friends."
