RESCUE teams had to come to the aid of a woman who had suffered a suspected broken ankle.
At 11.45am on Sunday, October 11, Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team were called to assist a 44-year-old woman near Glenridding, Ullswater, after she slipped.
She was given pain relief and her leg was splinted before she was stretchered to a waiting mountain rescue Land Rover 1km away.
The woman was then transferred to the Team's base in Patterdale before onward transfer in an ambulance to hospital in Carlisle.
Eight team members were involved for two hours.
