Rope rescue
On Sunday 02/04/23 the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was alerted with regard to a walker who had become trapped on the western side of Place Fell. The walker had attempted to scramble up the cliff-face and had become stuck. The location was not far from Side Farm and the first land rover arrived at the scene around 30 minutes later.
The walker was quickly located and secured with a harness. He was then secured with a rope and assisted down the rough terrain to the main path.
