The team was called when a lone walker had fainted and was then having difficulty breathing and shivering. A very kind passer-by had stopped to help and called it in.
Once the team was on scene an assessment was made. She was transferred to the team stretcher and then a routine carry was made to Brackenclose. After further assessment by an awaiting ambulance crew the walker was able to be discharged.
We hope the walker has recovered well and would like to recognise the walker who gave up her 3 peaks challenge to provide help to someone in need.
Incident started at 21:04 and ended at 03:02 making 6 hrs in total. There were 13 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 18921 07233. Total rescuer hours: 78
