- Hikers high on magic mushrooms had to be rescued by almost a dozen mountain experts in England.
- The group was hiking in the Lake District, England's largest national park.
- It took two hours for the Keswick Mountain Rescue Team to meet and save the high hikers.
It was a trip gone awry in multiple senses. After a group of hikers in England got too high on magic mushrooms this past weekend, they were rescued by almost a dozen mountain experts.
According to an update on their Facebook, the Keswick Mountain Rescue Team received multiple calls on Saturday afternoon about the high hikers who had been hiking in the Lake District national park in northern England.
"A number of calls were received via passers by, who had come across a group of young adult males who had taken magic mushrooms," the rescue team wrote.
The rescue team dispatched 11 members to handle the situation.
"Two in the group were feeling unwell including the driver in the party," the rescue team wrote, adding that it took about two hours to lead the hikers out of the mountainous trails.
According to the team, a team medic also gave the hikers advice "regarding the timing of their onward travel."
The Lake District is the largest national park in England. The Keswick Mountain Rescue Team is one of the almost 50 volunteer teams across English and Welsch wilderness regions.
