A busy day on Saturday commenced when a walker took a nasty 7m fall from steep ground on the Corridor Route, picking up cuts to his arms and legs, plus possible rib fractures. The tasking had quickly been transferred from Coniston MRT when the location was confirmed to be in Wasdale.
Helimed 58 was dispatched quickly, reached the walker first and began medical treatment. However, they still needed help to extract the walker, so requested a Coastguard helicopter with winching capability. Rescue 936 responded from Caernarfon and performed a winch evacuation, before transferring to hospital. Thanks to both helicopter crews for some excellent multi-agency teamwork to get the fastest possible help for the walker. We hope he recovers quickly from his injuries.
Incident started at 13:25 and ended at 16:45 making 3.3 hrs in total. There were 14 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 21800 08500. Total rescuer hours: 46
