The team was called by Cumbria Police about a walker who had fallen and injured her ankle. After trying to continue, she was no longer able to bear weight.
A full callout was made and team members made their way to the scene. After a medical assessment, the offending ankle was splinted to provide pain relief and stability, after which a routine stretcher carry was made to Brackenclose.
The walker was then transferred to one of her party’s vehicle for onward transfer to hospital and further assessment. We wish her a quick recovery and hope she is back on the fells soon.
Incident started at 18:51 and ended at 22:10 making 3.3 hrs in total. There were 18 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 19500 07412. Total rescuer hours: 59
