On Tuesday 17/02/2026 at 15:15hrs the team were called out after report of a walker who had fallen and potentially broken their ankle. The call out felt like deja vu as the team had dealt with an almost identical incident in the same spot only 2 days previous. The location which is the descend on the north side of Glenridding Dodd is not a hot spot for call outs. The team responded quickly and due to the previous experience already had a plan ready for rescue and evacuation. The casualty was treated for her dislocated ankle and given pain relief. She was then taken on a stretcher down The Rake into Glenridding The casualty was then taken to hospital by her husband.
