Callout 40
Medical emergency
At 6am on 26-05-26 Cumbria Police contacted Patterdale Mountain Rescue requesting their assistance due to reports of two campers who had been vomiting and were concerned that they may not make it off the fell. Following initial contact by the Duty Leader it was agreed that they would begin to descend, while mountain rescue monitored their progress.
Two team members met them at the fell bottom and took them back to the base in order to be initially assessed before continuing on to hospital for further assessment.
