Fellwalking

A diabetic man collapsed due to a very low blood sugar level. He was given dextrose and carried off the fell.

Whilst descending from call-out 95, the team tripped over a man who had fallen and broken his collar bone. He was treated and stretchered off the hill.

This 66 year old lady was leading a group of Ramblers up a steep and rocky gully, when she slipped 40 feet and injured her back. The team lowered her 50 feet, to a position where she could be airlifted by RAF Boulrner.

A fast party of team members were sent to search the area after a report of flashing lights. Nothing was found. It was a very starry night though. Better to have been in bed really.

The team were called to a group of boy scouts as one of them had bruised his knee. The message received was "If they cannot come tonight, can they come in the morning". Two members went to the scene, no help was required, but to top off the situation they asked if we could run them back to Keswick. One had to bite one's lip and check the diary for appointments!!

We joined Keswick MRT in a search for a couple who had become exhausted somewhere around the Greenup Edge area. They were uncertain of their location, and communication was poor. Teams were dispatched into Greenup Ghyll, Wythburn and Far Easedale. They were located by Keswick team members near Lining Crag and assisted off.

While trying to work out whom, if anyone, was missing from the previous incident, we were notified of a second missing pair, unrelated to the first group. This time we managed to speak to them quickly, having worked out where they were, and were able to direct them to within sight of Stickle Tarn, from where they were able to locate a way down

The team treated and evacuated a 47-year-old male who had become semi-conscious and hypothermic near Nab Scar. He was transported to an ambulance for onward transport to hospital.

A man suffered a suspected heart attack near the summit of Dove Crag. We called Kendal MRT and a helicopter to help. The helicopter got there before all of us, so all we could do was turn round and walk back down again. He was taken to Carlsisle hospital for treatment.

We were alerted to this incident by an informantdescending to Kirkstone Pass summit. A vehicle was dispatched but further investigation confirmed that Patterdale MRT had been notified of this incident and were already dealing with it.
