Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were called out to the Lake District late last month.
A walker had fallen close to the stream crossing on Brown Tongue and sustained a potentially dislocated shoulder.
A full callout was made and team members quickly made their way to the scene. After an assessment some strong pain relief was administered and the walker was carefully packaged into the team stretcher.
He was then carefully transported to Brackenclose, after which a handover to a land ambulance crew was undertaken, before a transfer to the hospital.
It was the 100th call received by Wasdale MRT this year. It was a full callout and took around four hours and 21 minutes to complete.
They said: "We wish the walker well with a quick recovery from his injury."
