A walker was stretchered from a Lake District hillside after injuring herself.
Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was called out shortly after 1pm on Monday to the incident on Hallin Fell.
The woman from Stockport fell and injured her lower leg, rendering her unable to continue walking.
A team spokesperson said: “The woman was treated for her injuries and stretchered to a waiting ambulance for onward transport to Carlisle hospital.”
The incident involved 10 team members and lasted 3½ hours.

27 October 2020I hope she makes a recovery but as Stockport is Tier3 in the covid system she shouldn’t have technically been there I believe!!! Advice not a legal requirement but not good nevertheless

27 October 2020Only since last Friday. I believe if already on holiday there is no obligation to return home immediately?

28 October 2020So she must have been in Tier2 before she came here. Still a bit of a selfish attitude spreading the virus around 'potentially'.
As an aside, it's nice to see SL and his grating have gone elsewhere
