A MOUNTAIN Rescue team came to the aid of an injured walker.
Wasdale MRT assisted the walker who had fallen and was unable to bear weight on their leg.
A spokesperson said: "The team was called on Saturday afternoon regarding a walker who had slipped, injuring her ankle and was unable to bear weight.
"Another member of the party had descended to Wasdale Head to raise the alarm in the absence of an adequate mobile signal on the fell.
"The team was called out and members made their way towards Black Sail Pass. Once on scene a medical assessment was made and the leg was splinted.
"A stretcher carry was then made to Wasdale Head where a waiting ambulance provided further assessment. We wish the walker a swift recovery from her injury."
