Eleven mountain rescue team members were called to rescue a man who fell and dislocated his knee.
Coniston Mountain Rescue Team were called by North West Ambulance Service after a man fell and injured his knee on the descent from Goat’s Hause shortly after 4pm yesterday.
A statement from the mountain rescue team said: “This unusual injury was our third of the type in recent weeks, and, after pain relief, the knee was relocated and splinted. We then carried him on our stretcher on the rocky path until we were below Goat’s Water.
“We loaded the casualty on the stretcher into our converted Land Rover ambulance and drove him down to the base, where he was handed over to a land ambulance.”
