As callout 97 was in progress, a further call was taken from Cumbria Police. A walker had fallen, and injured her ankle and was now unable to bear any weight. Th location was also on the Corridor Route.
The Team Leader was able to divert some team members to this location and Remote Rescue Medical Technicians (RRMTs) made an assessment. After splinting the ankle for stability and pain relief, the walker was transferred to the team stretcher. The very long carry to Lingmell Col and then down to Brackenclose was made safely, before handing over to the rest of her walking group for transfer to hospital. We wish the walker a quick recovery from her injury.
Incident started at 14:37 and ended at 20:46 making 6.2 hrs in total. There were 16 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 21600 08000. Total rescuer hours: 99
