A 52 YEAR-old woman was rescued from a Lakes path after she tripped, breaking her ankle during the fall.
Keswick Mountain Rescue Team were called at 2.54pm on Saturday,April 30 to the path between Seathwaite and Stockley Bridge breaking her ankle.
Team numbers were short so a party was selected from those present at a previous rescue who then ran down Rigg Beck to drive directly around to Seathwaite.
On arrival at the scene a team doctor along with another team member were already present.
Analgesia was given to the casualty and the ankle splinted before loading the casualty onto a stretcher for a carry to an ambulance.
