The 100th alert of the year was from Cumbria Police. A walker had fallen close to the stream crossing on Brown Tongue and sustained a potentially dislocated shoulder.
A full callout was made and team members quickly made their way to the scene. After an assessment some strong pain relief was administered and the walker carefully packaged into the team stretcher. He was then carefully transported to Brackenclose, after which a handover to a land ambulance crew was undertaken, before a transfer to hospital.
We wish the walker well with a quick recovery from his injury.
Incident started at 20:55 and ended at 01:15 making 4.3 hrs in total. There were 17 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 195074. Total rescuer hours: 73
