We were requested by NWAS to assist in transporting a motorcyclist who had sustained a shoulder injury after coming off his bike. The ambulance could not get up the very steep incline of Hardknott Pass to the casualty site.
While the team was assembling at base, information came in to say that a member of the public had kindly offered to move the casualty in his car, with a paramedic in attendance, so the team stood down.
Incident started at 15:05 and ended at 16:08 making 1.1 hrs in total. There were 11 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 225014. Total rescuer hours: 12
