A dog and its owner that got stuck on a cliff edge near Derwentwater in monsoon-like conditions have been rescued.
Keswick Mountain Rescue Team members were called out to Surprise View, overlooking the water, on July 10 at 3.16pm.
A couple were visiting the location when their dog decided to chase a ball over the cliff edge and ended up falling and getting stuck on a ledge.
One of the dog’s owners descended a nearby gully to try and retrieve the dog but also became stuck.
The other owner made an emergency call and both the rescue team and the Fire Service attended.
A joint operation proceeded and a rope system put in place to lower a rescuer to the crag fast person who was then hauled up to the top of the cliff.
A second rescuer was then lowered to to retrieve the dog.
Fortunately both owner and dog were uninjured but it was recommended the dog get checked over by a vet.
The incident lasted two hours and 14 minutes.
