Injured walker
At 1pm on Saturday 15th October, Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was called to attend a woman with an ankle injury on Heron Pike, one of the fells overlooking Ullswater. As team members were assembling for this incident, a second call came in.
Due to the potential serious nature of that incident, the team asked for assistance from Penrith Mountain Rescue Team to handle the Heron Pike callout. The Penrith Team, assisted by members from the Kirkby Stephen Team, reached the woman with the ankle injury on Heron Pike. She was placed in a stretcher and carried back to the valley to rendezvous with an ambulance at Glencoyne.
