Volunteers from St Bees RNLI were called to help a walker who had injured her ankle on an inaccessible beach.
The woman was out walking with her husband on Saturday when she slipped at Fleswick Bay, which is inaccessible to vehicles.
The volunteer crew was called at around 3.50pm to rescue the woman.
A spokesman said: “The lifeboat crew arrived at Fleswick Bay and using their casualty care training made her as comfortable as possible before transferring her to the inshore lifeboat and carefully making their way back to the station.
“The lifeboat was taken to the water’s edge and the stretcher lowered over the side. The volunteers then carried the stretcher to the lifeboat station.
“The casualty and her husband thanked everybody for their help and he posed for a quick team photo, as a reminder of their eventful day, before they headed to the
hospital.”
