Location
Scafell Pike Summit, Scafell Pike

As the team was responding to the ankle injury in incident 127, a further call was received. A walker’s 20kg dog had damaged its paws and was struggling to descend from Scafell Pike summit.

The walker was understanding of the situation and intended to move downhill as best as possible, just alerting the team if help was needed later. Passing walkers then assisted with making bandages from spare socks and vet wrap, and this improved things and allowed the dog to move again. Keswick MRT was alerted as they were descending to Seathwaite, but they were also not required to assist as the walker and his dog successfully made it down on their own. Our thanks to those who helped on the fell.

Incident started at 14:41 and ended at 18:59 making 4.3 hrs in total. There was 1 Wasdale team member involved. Total rescuer hours: 4.3
