Patterdale mountain rescue team.
A 54-YEAR-OLD woman was rescued after slipping from a path towards Heck Crag, Bannerdale.
Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team assisted the walker on Monday (June 26) at around 3:45pm.
Initially the team found it difficult to determine where the casualty was and asked the air ambulance to assist.
Once the casualty had been found, she was treated by the crew of the air ambulance for a damaged ankle.
Due to the remote location and long stretcher carry, Penrith Mountain Rescue Team were asked to assist.
The casualty was lowered from the fell and transferred to hospital for further treatment.
