Callout 94
Injured walker
On 19/11/25 the team were called regards a couple who got themselves stuck on a footpath on Gowbarrow. One of the couple had unsuitable clothing and trainers without tread. Because of this they were unable to walk up one of the inclines which were very slippery due to the wintery conditions . The team leader made telephone contact and directed the couple along an alternative footpath towards Watermillock church. Because the couple had got very cold and darkness had set in, a team landrover then collected the couple and dropped them back at their vehicle at the Aira Force carpark.
