Cumbria Police notified us about a walker stuck on the boulder field on Wastwater lakeshore, with an injured ankle, having fallen a couple of times. A foot party and the boat were deployed and further members went to Cross Walls on the other side of the lake to receive the party, and to assist with the stretcher if needed. The walkers, with their three dogs, were ferried across the lake and returned to their car, and the team stood down.
