Whilst on the descent with the casualty from incident 96, team members came across two walkers who were in need of our assistance. Both had taken numerous minor falls and were cold and exhausted. They were struggling to make progress and at risk of further falls and more serious injuries.
Three team members were diverted from the ongoing callout and provided reassurance, food, water, helmets and rope support to minimise the risk on the remainder of the descent.
Happily they were able to complete their walk to Brackenclose, and the team members stood down.
Incident started at 19:14 and ended at 22:18 making 3.1 hrs in total. There were 4 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY200073. Total rescuer hours: 12
