A group of walkers (not quite hikers, but casual outdoors people) required rescue when they were caught unprepared in rain, floods and darkness.
The group was walking in the Langdale area of the Lake District in the UK when a fierce rain storm came in. They had already crossed streams and rivers, but were unable to return because the waterways were flooding and unsafe to cross.
When the group didn’t return from their walk, emergency crews were alerted and began searching. The group was eventually found at 3 a.m. Authorities said they were unprepared for the conditions.
Even after the group was found, crews had problems returning them to safety as more roads and rivers were flooded and blocked the path out.
