Moffat Mountain Rescue Team had their fifth emergency call-out of the year on Sunday.
As many were already in the area for team training in the Moffat hills, they gave a quick response to a police appeal at 12.54pm for help to assist a woman who hurt her leg while walking near Brattleburn Bothy, north west of the town.
MRT team leader, James Coles, said: “Thirteen team members travelled to the casualty’s location where the walker’s injuries were assessed and managed on the hill, with pain relief administered and a lower limb splint applied.
“The casualty was then packaged into a Casbag and stretcher; then evacuated to the team’s VW Transporter.
“From there they were taken by road to meet the Scottish Ambulance Service to be conveyed onwards to hospital.
