LANGDALE and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team was called out to assist a fell walker who slipped and injured his knee at Hell Ghyll, Great Langdale, early yesterday evening.
A team spokesman said: "A man walking with a friend slipped and sustained a knee injury. His friend descended to raise the alarm.
"The team responded, but when we arrived he had self-rescued to the valley bottom. His injuries were checked over and he was taken to hospital by his friend."
