A 16-strong squad from Oldham Mountain Rescue Team was called by North West Ambulance Service at lunchtime Sunday to assist with a walker who had dislocated their knee at Ravenstones.
Team vehicles were dispatched to the road head below Ravenstones near Dovestones.
From there, team members made their way up the steep climb to the top carrying all the necessary equipment.
And after an assessment of the casualty by one of their remote rescue medical technicians they decided to ask for assistance from the Coastguard with the extrication of the casualty.
The casualty was placed on a stretcher and loaded into the helicopter from Humberdide Rescue for the short flight down to the bottom of the valley before they were handed over to North West Ambulance Service for the trip to hospital.
Team members were involved for three hours.
