[P]atterdale Mountain Rescue Team had a busy afternoon with two simultaneous callouts.
The first incident the team responded to was for a 10-year-old boy who had slipped whilst descending Hallin Fell.
A spokesman for Patterdale MRT said: “He was treated on the fell for a dislocated knee before being stretchered to the valley bottom and then onwards to hospital.”
The second incident was for a 60-year-old man who had fallen on the path and fractured his ankle near Dowthwaite Head.
A Patterdale MRT spokesman added: “He was initially treated and evacuated by fellow walkers before the team were called.
“He was then treated by the team doctor and stretchered from the fell before being transferred to hospital.”
Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team were assisted by colleagues from Penrith Mountain Rescue Team and a member of the Icelandic Search and Rescue.
