A call was received from Cumbria Police about a cyclist who had fallen off her cycle with a reported broken leg.
A team member was already close by and so was quickly tasked to assess the situation whilst a full team callout was made in parallel. The first team member confirmed a very painful leg injury with a high pain score and gave simple analgesia quickly.
As the rest of the team arrived Helimed 08 from Blackpool mobilised and landed close to the scene. After further strong pain relief the cyclist was packaged into the stretcher and transferred to the helicopter for the flight to hospital for further assessment and treatment. Thanks to the Helimed crew and we wish the cyclist a quick recovery from her injury.

Incident started at 13:15 and ended at 18:20 making 5.1 hrs in total. There were 17 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY 182060. Total rescuer hours: 87
