A walker was stretchered from a Lakeland fell after injuring her ankle.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team was called out today about 11.45am after the woman suffered the injury on a path above Greendale Farm overlooking Wasdale.
She was given pain relief by team members and her leg was splinted before she was carried down from the fell to a waiting ambulance.
The 2¼-hour rescue involved 19 volunteer team members and was the Wasdale MRT’s first of the year.
