Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were called out to a woman who sustained an ankle injury at Wasdale Head. The rescue comprised 14 team members and took five hours to complete.
A spokesperson from WMRT said:
"The police called out the team about a female that had an ankle injury 15 mins up from the green car park at Wasdale head. The call came into the police by a passing walker.
"It wasn’t possible to speak to the casualty by phone or pin point her location so a local team member was tasked to confirm the location as the rest of the team were mobilised.
"The casualty was just 15 mins up from the green car park and the team were quickly on scene. The lady was given mild pain killers and carried down by stretcher to an awaiting ambulance."
