Wasdale Mountain Rescue team helped an injured walker who was descending Scafell Pike. 

The team was called out on October 10 to the person had had fallen and hurt their leg. 

A spokesperson said: "A call was received from Cumbria Police about a walker who had fallen and hurt his leg on the descent from Scafell Pike.

The other two members of the group were becoming increasingly cold and progress was slow.

The Team Leader was able to talk to the group and advised them to keep descending if they were able, as this maintains body heat and also reduces the time taken for the team to make contact on the fell.

"Fortunately, they were able to do this and managed to descend from Lingmell Col to below the stream crossing.

"Team Casualty Carers then met them and made an assessment of the injury, before providing support for the group to make their own way for the rest of the descent to Brackenclose."
