A mountain rescue team has been out this week to help someone with a dislocated ankle fracture. 

Keswick MRT was called out to Scales Fell, Blencathra on June 5 at 11.28 am. 

A spokesperson said: "The third dislocated ankle fracture in a week. This time the unlucky man was ascending Scales Fell on Blencathra.

"After some strong pain relief, the ankle was reduced and strapped in a leg splint before he was stretchered down the hill to an ambulance.

"The team received a what3words coordinate in the original message which was near enough to be believable but far enough away to potentially cause a delay.

"Fortunately, we were able to use Phonefind to confirm the casualty location so it wasn’t an issue this time."

Ten team members were called out for three hours and 17 minutes.
