A MOUNTAIN rescue team was called out to a walker who had injured her ankle.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue team was called out to Scafell Pike on June 15.
The walker had slipped and heard a crack in her ankle, the injury had been painful and she was unable to progress any further.
In a post on social media, Wasdale MRT wrote: "A swift callout was made and once on scene team members assessed the injury. A well-equipped trainee mountain leader in the party had already insulated, sheltered, and given simple pain relief.
"Further pain relief was administered whilst the ankle was splinted. The walker was then transferred to a casualty bag and stretcher for the carry back to the valley floor.
"Once safely down at Brackenclose, she was moved to their own vehicle for the journey to hospital and further treatment.
"We wish the walker a speedy recovery and hope to see her back on the fells soon."
