The team was called on Saturday about a walker who had fallen and injured their ankle. She was unable to walk any further.
The team was swiftly called out and once on scene performed a medical assessment, gave further strong pain relief, and splinted the ankle.
This enabled the walker to be made comfortable for the relatively routine stretcher carry to Brackenclose when she was transferred to their vehicle for subsequent transfer to the hospital.
We hope the walker’s injuries heal quickly and she is back on the fells soon.
Incident started at 14:20 and ended at 18:20 making 4 hrs in total. There were 16 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 198073. Total rescuer hours: 64
