RESCUERS were called after a walker stumbled and sustained a head wound on a Yorkshire Dales mountain.
The woman, 48, injured herself on the final climb up the south end of Pen-y-ghent.
The Cave Rescue Organisation (CRO) was called out to the incident at around 2.15pm on Saturday.
A CRO spokesman said: "A passing doctor helped staunch the bleeding from the scalp wound and, knowing that help had been requested, advised that she might begin to walk back down.
"The first team members to arrive met the casualty’s party at the lower climb and accompanied them down to Brackenbottom Scar, where she transferred to a team vehicle for the drive down to Horton-in-Ribblesdale."
The spokesman said a road ambulance was stood down after the walking party agreed to visit their local hospital on the way home so the casualty could be given a check-up.
