A 60-year-old man fell 15ft while out on a Lake District walk.
The man was coming down the Corridor Route from Scafell Pike when he tumbled, causing deep cuts to his head and hand and knee injuries.
Despite this, he continued his descent towards Seathwaite in considerable pain until some passing walkers raised the alarm.
Keswick Mountain Rescue Team was called at around 4.40pm on Sunday and met the man on the Styhead tarn path.
They dressed his wounds and stretchered him to Seathwaite Farm. Due to ambulance availability, he was taken to the Keswick team’s base to wait for an ambulance for transfer to hospital.
