A call was received from Cumbria Police regarding a walker reporting a deep laceration to a leg.
The team was quickly called out and Duddon and Furness MRT was asked to standby to support with a location high up on the Scafell Pike summit plateau. However, the walker was very stoically able to complete his descent to Wasdale Head himself where he was met by his partner for onwards transport to further care. Team members took advantage of the location to refresh and rehydrate before returning to base.
Thanks to Duddon and Furness MRT for their willingness to support us once more. We wish the walker a swift recovery.
Incident started at 12:00 and ended at 15:50 making 3.8 hrs in total. There were 9 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY212073. Total rescuer hours: 34
