We were alerted to a lone walker who had injured his ankle high on Kirk Fell nose and was struggling to make further progress. Due to the steep terrain he called for help, and the team were called out. Once on scene, after a medical assessment and some support from team members, he was able to make slow progress off the fell, thus avoiding a stretcher carry on this occasion. We wish him a quick recovery.
