During incident 147, another call was received from Cumbria Police. A walker had slipped and sustained an ankle injury near Great Lad Crag, and could not weight bear. Resources were diverted from further up the valley and Rescue 199, already assisting with the prior incident, offered support. The helicopter was able to land on scene, and picked up the two walkers and their dog. They were flown back to the valley bottom to be received by team members. After an assessment they were transferred to their own vehicle. We hope the walker recovers quickly from his injury.
Many thanks to Duddon and Furness MRT and the Coastguard helicopter crew, the latter again saving many hours of leg work from team members.
