A walker who fell and cut his head while coming down Helvellyn on Monday needed help from Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team.
The team was called out at around 6.30pm to the man who had tripped and hit his head on rocks. He and his partner had been descending into the valley after walking Helvellyn via the ridges. They were coming down into Grisedale via the Hole in the Wall path.
The team doctor was first on the scene and assessed and bandaged the wound. The walker had remained conscious throughout and had not fractured anything. The casualty was carried on a stretcher to a team Land Rover and was later taken to hospital by his partner.
The rescue involved 16 team members and lasted three-and-a-half hours.
