A walker was airlifted to hospital after a fall on a Lake District fell.
Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was alerted to the woman’s plight at 2.50pm today after she took a tumble on the path between Fairfield and Cofa Pike.
A spokesperson for the rescuers said: “Team members were airlifted by the Pride of Cumbria air ambulance to the scene, a steep unstable slope. The team and aircraft crew stretchered the lady up to the summit of Fairfield to the air ambulance.”
The walker, from Stoke on Trent, was then flown to the Cumberland Infirmary, Carlisle, for further treatment.
