A teenager has escaped serious injury after falling more than 26 feet down a culvert in Keswick.
Lewis Brown, 16, fell from a wall on the old railway line on Friday evening.
Volunteers from Keswick Mountain Rescue Team were called by North West Ambulance Service to help safely rescue him.
A team statement says that he had suffered serious injuries and needed analgesia and splinting before he could be moved.
He was rushed to the Cumberland Infirmary in Carlisle for treatment, where tests later confirmed that Lewis had suffered only bruising in the fall.
He was kept in hospital on Friday night but returned home yesterday.
Mountain rescuers had helped paramedics lift him out of the culvert and stretchered him up on to the road.
More than 20 members of the Keswick team took part in Friday night's rescue.
