Callout 34
Medical emergency
On Tuesday 28th April at 21:05 hrs just as the Team were packing up from job 33 they were alerted by Keswick MR of a job at Red Tarn, Glenridding. A lone camper was feeling unwell and had been vomiting for a considerable time and requested help to get down to the valley bottom.
The Team were mobilised and once at the casualty she was assessed and slowly walked off the hill without the need of a stretcher evacuation. A bed was found for the night at the local YHA and the team returned to base to pack the kit for the second time that night.
