A second call of the evening was received by Cumbria Police. A lone walker had taken a tumble fall on the path sustaining knee and shoulder injuries. Fortunately, both were not serious and she could continue strolling down from Sty Head towards Wasdale.
A small party was tasked with locating and then assisting the walker the rest of the way. Team members were still at base from the previous callout so they were on their way quickly.
The walker was located in the location expected and the team provided support to complete the descent safely to Wasdale Head, before returning to base. We wish the walker a quick recovery.
Incident started at 21:05 and ended at 00:10 making 3.1 hrs in total. There were 8 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY213095. Total rescuer hours: 25
