Mountain rescue volunteers came to the aid of a walker with a suspected broken ankle near Scorton over the weekend.
The Bowland Pennine team, along with the North West Ambulance Service, headed to Nicky Nook, near Scorton, on Saturday afternoon, to attend to a 59-year-old female walker who had fallen.
The rescue team set up a control point near Fell End Farm and team members on scene then assessed the walker and determined that she had potentially broken her ankle.
The team made the casualty comfortable, administering pain relieving medicines and Entonox, then used a vacuum splint around the ankle before she was stretchered off the hill back to Fell View farm where an ambulance was located.
The team then carried out the transfer into the Ambulance along with paramedics, before she was transported to Preston Royal Infirmary.
Twenty two volunteers of Bowland Pennine MRT attended, along with two North West Ambulance Service paramedics, in a rescue operation that took three hours.
