Whilst we were rescuing the casualty with a head injury a further call came in about a group of three walkers lost on Scafell Pike. Given that we were busy with an injured casualty, there were plenty of people on the mountain and we could not contact them on their phone the decision was made to give them time to turn up. Which they duely did.
Incident started at 16:00 and ended at 17:30 making 1.5 hrs in total.
