A call was received about a walker who was struggling to descend from Scafell Pike. He was suffering from cramping of his legs and had also taken a fall suffering minor cuts to his hands.
The Team Leader made contact and agreed that after taking on some salty food and some simple pain relief, the walker would attempt to descend by himself, helped by his walking partner.
Happily, he managed to do this without needing further assistance, and the team was stood down when the pair reached the valley floor.
Incident started at 17:43 and ended at 20:04 making 2.4 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved and the incident occured at NY 20600 07400. Total rescuer hours: 2.4
