A MAN has died after walking alone up a Lake District fell.
David Bailiff, 52, of Blackburn, a keen walker, was discovered collapsed near the summit of Pike O’Blisco on Thursday afternoon.
The North West Air Ambulance was called but he died before he could be treated.
Nick Owen, of Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team, said Mr Bailiff was found by a walking party at 1.40pm on Thursday.
“People tried to resuscitate him but he was dead by the time the medical teams arrived,” said Mr Owen.
