On Wednesday 17th June at 14:30 hrs the Team were tasked by Cumbria Police to a male who had been walking and had received injuries and needed assistance. The Duty Leader made contact with the informant and established that the male had fallen around 10-20m onto rocks sustaining a large laceration to his head and face with possible injuries to his ribs and elbow.

The Team were called out and due to the nature of the incident and injuries a request for assistance from a Coastguard Helicopter was made. Team members made their way on foot up Boredale Hause to the scene arriving alongside Rescue 897 who had flown from their base at Carlisle Airport. The male was examined and slowly walked to the aircraft with some help where he was then flown to Carlisle for further treatment at Hospital.

On Saturday 30/05/26 at around 11:00 am the Team were called out to a walker who had fallen over and hurt her wrist. The lone walker from the USA had tripped over a branch and awkwardly fallen hurting her wrist badly. A passerby had assisted the walker and phoned the emergency services.

The location was on a footpath at the rear of Gowbarrow Fell. A local Team member arrived at the scene fairly swiftly and examined the injury which had been stabilised in a makeshift sling. The casualty was able to walk off with assistance of Team members and she was transferred to the Patterdale Base. From there she made her way to hospital for further treatment.

On Thursday, 14th May, 14 volunteers from the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team responded to a call from Cumbria Police regarding a walker with a lower leg injury. The casualty was treated on-site by the team’s Remote Rescue Medical Technicians, who provided pain relief and splinted the limb.

The team then executed a stretcher carry to a rescue vehicle at the bottom of the Hause. The walker was transported via Land Rover to the Patterdale Base and handed over to a waiting ambulance for hospital treatment.
