    BBC News - Unexploded WWII bomb found on Lake District fell
    Mountain rescue volunteers stumbled across an unexploded bomb while on a training exercise in the Lake District.
    Members of the Duddon and Furness Mountain Rescue Team found the World War II mortar on Blawith Knott, near Coniston Water.
    The device was still live and the area was cordoned off.
    An Army bomb disposal unit from Catterick Garrison, in North Yorkshire, travelled to the scene and carried out a controlled explosion.
