Patterdale Mountain Rescue was tasked with helping an injured walker. 

A woman had slipped and hurt her leg on a wet grassy area. 

A spokesperson said: "The Team was tasked by Cumbria Police to a female who had been walking in the Hartsop/Deepdale area when she slipped on wet grass descending down How End wood.

"On arrival at the casualty site, her friends were keeping her dry and warm in a survival tent. Her ankle was examined and after being given strong pain relief it was splinted and she was carried off the hill in a stretcher.

"The lady then went to hospital with her friends for further treatment.
