Injured walker
A male had fallen and hurt his ankle whilst walking his dog. When he slipped, he heard a loud crack and was no longer able to weight bear. The injury was treated and the casualty was stretchered into Scandale where the rescuers were met by Land Rovers from both LAMRT and PMRT.
The casualty was driven to the LAMRT Base in Ambleside, from where he was collected by his parents to be taken to hospital for further treatment.
