A call was received yesterday from Cumbria Police about a walker in a family group who had fallen on steep ground, suffering a leg injury that made it impossible for her to continue.
The team was called out and made their way to the scene. After a medical assessment and splinting of the leg, the walker was transferred into the team stretcher. The short descent was completed safely and the walker transferred to their own vehicle for onward transfer to hospital. We hope the walker recovers quickly and is back on the fells soon.
Incident started at 14:31 and ended at 17:48 making 3.3 hrs in total. There were 13 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 143034. Total rescuer hours: 43
