We were called by Police about a walker who had stumbled and dislocated his shoulder whilst on a steep grass bank on the way up Haycock. He was given pain relief on scene. The casualty was in an awkward position on a steep grass slope and the stretcher had to be secured on a rope before he could be moved down the hill with help from the Duddon team and into the waiting coastguard helicopter from Prestwick. Many thanks to Duddon and Prestwick for turning out.
