A MOUNTAIN rescue team responded to a call that happened in 'almost exactly the same place' as another one a week before. 

Coniston Mountain Rescue Team reported that a woman walking on Holme Fell with her family slipped and hurt her ankle on October 29 at 2.33pm. 

A week before, on October 22, a man slipped and injured his knee in the same area.
