A 29-year-old woman who turned her ankle after jumping into a rock pool required the assistance of Keswick mountain rescue team.
The woman had been getting towards the end of an organised ghyll scramble in Stonycroft beck, in Newlands, on Saturday, when she jumped into the water and injured her ankle on the stream bed.
The instructor managed to get her out of the ghyll and waited for the mountain rescue volunteers to arrive.
Two vehicles were dispatched, and, after negotiating heavy traffic through Keswick and Braithwaite, managed to get to the casualty, who was on a steep grassy bank.
After providing various methods of pain relief and splinting the ankle, the woman was placed on a stretcher and hauled up to the main path.
A Keswick mountain rescue spokesman said: “From here it was a relatively short carry to the road to an ambulance, from where she was taken to the Cumberland Hospital, Carlisle.”
