A COUPLE have been treated by rescue teams after a boat capsized on Ullswater.

Patterdale Mountain Rescue were called out to a report of a woman in the water at the Pooley Bridge end of the lake on Monday.

By the time the team had travelled from Howtown to Pooley Bridge, the casualty and her partner had made their way to the shore.

The pair were treated for the cold and transported to Penrith Hospital for further care.
