A COW is awaiting a helicopter rescue after getting into difficulty at a waterfall.
RAF Spadeadam is hoping to rescue the cow that is stranded in a gorge at Crammel Linn waterfall, near Gilsland.
A helicopter will attempt to lift the cow to safety using a sling.
Animal charities have been unable to reach the animal, which is believed to have accessed the area through an open gate.
