North West Ambulance Service alerted the Team Leader to a walker who had possibly injured his leg high on the Scafell Massif. Communications directly with the party involved were not possible and it was unclear as to whether the walker was still walking and the severity of the problem. Eventually a location was determined to be at Calf Cove, Great End. This was in Keswick MRT’s area and so the callout was handed over.
Keswick MRT then called Cockermouth for help with a possible stretcher carry, so 3 teams involved. After some time, they were stood down when a message came through to say that some other walkers had helped him off the hill.
Incident started at 17:30 and ended at 18:36 making 1.1 hrs in total. There were 3 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 228081. Total rescuer hours: 3.3
