Water rescue
The Team was tasked by Cumbria Police to a male canoeist who had capsized and was unable to get back onboard. The Team launched their Rescue RIB but the gentleman had managed to get to shore near Silver Point. Due to the wind and choppy waters, he was unable to paddle back to the campsite at Side Farm so he, and his canoe, were taken onboard the RIB back to calmer water near the camp site.
