The team received a call from Cumbria Police about a walker who had taken a wrong turn from her intended route from the summit and then taken a fall. She was also feeling dizzy and faint. The walker was given directions to descend slowly and a small team was called out to walk up and meet her. Once on scene, after an assessment, the walker was able to slowly continue to walk down to the valley under her own steam. Once on the valley, the team stood down after giving advice to rest and rehydrate further.
