A walker had to have his leg splinted after he slipped on a Lake District fell.
The man was walking on Holme Fell between Coniston Water and Little Langdale when he slipped and injured his knee.
The man happened to be with a member of Coniston Mountain Rescue Team at the time of the fall who initiated a call out to fellow volunteers at 10:44am this morning (October 22).
A spokesperson for Coniston Mountain Rescue Team said: "We dispatched all three Land Rovers to Hodge Close quarry and walked up to the casualty from there.
"He was assessed, the leg splinted, and then carried down on our stretcher to wait for a land ambulance at Hodge Close. He was then taken to Royal Lancaster Infirmary."
In total, 14 volunteer team members attended this incident, which took three hours and 8 minutes.
Conditions were described as a 'fine autumn day'.
