Incidents

On Friday 30/01/25 at 1700hrs Patterdale MRT assisted Keswick MRT on an incident on the west side of Helvellyn. A walker had slipped and fallen in the snow a 100 meters  down a gully on Brown Cove Crags. Five Patterdale Members had just returned to the base from a snowy walk on Helvellyn, when the call out came in. It was quickly established that the incident was in the Keswick area and the incident was transferred to their control. Due to KMRT initially being low on responding team members and seriousness of the incident, KMRT requested assistance. The 5 Patterdale members then travelled to the Thirlmere valley to assist. The rescue lasted 5 hrs.
