The Team was alerted to reports from both the police and NWAS of a woman who had tripped and injured her ankle. The casualty’s location could not be verified as the report had been passed on via a landline, so a vehicle was dispatched to locate the casualty.

After assessment and splinting of the woman’s ankle she was assisted to the Team Land Rover and returned to her car at Hartsop. Her companions transported her to hospital for further treatment.

A woman walking with her partner had slipped, injuring her shoulder and hip and was unable to continue. The assistance of Penrith MRT was requested because of low availability of Team Members. Due to the potential seriousness of a hip injury, NWAS requested the assistance of GNAAS.

The helicopter was able to land close to the scene and treat the casualty before either Team arrived. The casualty was flown to CIC for further treatment.

While the Team was at Stybarrow Crag, a callout was received from a couple requiring help. The Team Leader contacted the couple and established that the pain was likely to be due to fatigue. The caller was advised to continue to the top of Helvellyn where passing walkers gave him some food.

On further contact they confirmed that they were able to continue unaided.

The Team was alerted by both NWAS and Cumbria Police to a female who had slipped when descending from the fell and sustained an ankle injury. As she was not far from the road the Team was quickly on scene. The injury was treated, and the casualty was taken to the road by stretcher then transferred in a Team vehicle to the Rescue Base to await a land ambulance to take her to hospital.

The Team was called out to attend a male who had been walking with his family when he slipped and injured his ankle. The casualty was located, and his ankle was stabilised and splinted, then he was transferred by stretcher to a Team Land Rover.

The casualty and his family then made their own way to hospital for further treatment.
