A mountain rescue team rescued a walker after injuring her wrist in a fall.

Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team was called to Lund Bridge, River Irt, at 2.17pm on October 13.

A spokesperson for the team said: "We were called today by Cumbria Police about a walker who had slipped and fallen, sustaining a painful wrist injury.

"The team was called out and arrived on scene.

"Unusually it was possible to drive very close to the walker’s location.

"A full medical assessment was completed before administering pain relief and then splinting of the wrist.

"A short stretcher carry was made to a team vehicle, before transferring the walker to the vehicle of one of her walking group for the onward journey to hospital. 

"We hope the walker recovers quickly from her injury," they said.
