A call was received from Cumbria Police about a walker who had taken a fall and suffered several injuries. However, he was mobile and was making his own descent accompanied by other walkers. His walking partner was also struggling and walking slowly behind him, with his location initially unknown.
The Team Leader was able to make contact with both walkers, and it was agreed that the team would remain on standby in case the situation worsened as they continued their respective descents. Both walkers were eventually able to make their own descent to Wasdale Head, and the team was stood down. Our thanks to the passing walkers who helped.
The Team Leader kept the log open until it was confirmed that both walkers were safely back at their accommodation.
Incident started at 19:17 and ended at 00:29 making 5.2 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved and the incident occured at NY 198074. Total rescuer hours: 5
