The third call of Saturday afternoon was from North West Ambulance Service. A walker had taken a tumble fall on Great Gable when descending towards Beck Head. She had sustained facial injuries.
As many team members were already committed to a long stretcher carry from the Corridor Route, Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team was asked to take ownership. They duly obliged and dispatched team members from Honister Pass. Two Wasdale MRT team members ascended from Gavel Neese and supported the initial assessment.
Thankfully, the walker was not seriously injured and was able to scramble down herself with the support of a rope and Cockermouth team members.
We wish her a quick recovery. Thanks to Cockermouth MRT for their help, it’s much appreciated.
Incident started at 15:37 and ended at 19:52 making 4.3 hrs in total. There were 5 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 20800 10400. Total rescuer hours: 22
