Callout 37
Injured walker
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.
