A passing volunteer for Coniston Mountain Rescue Team (CMRT) was called to a job outside of her usual rescue area last weekend.

The member works at a nearby location when she was contacted by Langdale Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team (LAMRT) around 2pm to assist with an injured hiker.

On August 31 a female walker sustained an ankle injury in the Stickle Ghyll area in Ambleside - which is one of the most popular becks in the Lake District.

The rescue took two hours in total and included seven team members from LAMRT, plus members from KMT and CMRT.
