Mountain rescue team called out to help injured woman in the Lake District
A MOUNTAIN rescue team was called out after a woman injured her ankle whilst descending High Spy.
The 25-year-old woman was with four friends when she twisted her ankle.
Keswick Mountain Rescue Team was called out to assist.
In a post on social media, Keswick MRT said: "A party of four friends were descending from High Spy via Rigghead quarries where one member of the party, a 25-year-old female, went over on her ankle, hearing/feeling a 'snap'.
"Despite resting for some time and trying multiple times to stand, the casualty remained unable to bear weight on her ankle, so the group reluctantly called for a rescue.
"On arrival, the team assessed, splinted the ankle, and gave some pain relief before stretchering the woman down to Rosthwaite, where her friends took her to the hospital for an X-ray."
