Fellwalking

An ambulance was called to this man on the Cumbria Way. They treated his ankle, a probable fracture, and asked us to assist with his evacuation to the roadside.

A 13-year-old boy suffered a recurrence of an old ankle injury while walking with a group.

This 68-year-old woman collapsed, suffering from very low blood pressure. She was evacuated from the fell and taken to Kendal for treatment.

While attending the previous incident, the team was alerted to almost identical incident on Robin Lane, so we sorted this one out while we were there.

This Dutch woman slipped off a stile and hit her head. An Ambulance was called initially, but were unable to evacuate the woman, so we did it.

As previous. Same scenario, different place.

An elderly Woman slipped and fractured her ankle. We administered the usual TLC.

A 60-year-old woman slipped and fractured her ankle.

A 15-year-old girl sustained a suspected lower leg fracture when she slipped on a steep, rough footpath.

Back to Grasmere, this time to treat and evacuate a 47-year-old woman with a suspected ankle fracture.

Asked by the Police to locate six missing D of E students, reported overdue between Patterdale and Grasmere. This we did.

Three women were reported as overdue on a walk over Crinkle Crags. With the help of Kendal MRT the three were located on Long Top. All were hypothermic, one severely. She was stretchered off, and the other two escorted off, on foot. Conditions were foul, with personnel being blown off their feet on several occasions.

A family group split up to go on separate walks. When two of them failed to make their rendezvous the alarm was raised. We located the missing two and reunited them. We then left, so they could review the domestic communication situation.

An 83-year-old woman became short of breath while walking with friends on the Cumbria Way, near Side House in Langdale. SHe was treated by parameidcs and evacuated to an ambulance by the team.

This 43-year-old woman slipped off a stile and suffered head and neck injuries.

A 52-year-old man slipped and "bent his leg double". He was unable to walk, so we carried him.

This woman slipped in poor footwear and sustained leg and head injuries.

Requested to search the Fairfield area by Patterdale MRT after they had received a mobile phone call from a group of five who were lost. Eventually located on Fairfield summit and escorted down.

It's possible that poor footwear caused this woman to slip and fracture her Tibia and Fibula.

This man had fractured his ankle at 10pm the previous day, having become lost in darkness. He had been reported missing by his wife but she didn't know where in the Lakes he was walking. After the accident his friend keyed their location into a GPS, but dropped it and smashed it on the way down. With the help of Coniston and Kendal MRTs he was located, treated and removed to a place of safety.

Four young men became benighted on the descent of the Band. A couple of them were suffering from mild hypothermia, due to becoming wet, in inadequate clothing. We assisted them off the hill.

This 50-year-old woman slipped and sustained a fracture/dislocation of her ankle.

A 15-year-old girl slipped off the path and fell into the ghyll. She was reported as suffering from hypothermia. We were amazed at the speed of her recovery once she had been carried down the hill.

We were assisted by Kendal MRT in the evacuation of this middle aged man, who had slipped and fractured his lower leg.

We just love these late night excursions into the mountains. They are good for the soul. Two young men had phoned home to tell their Mother that they had become benighted, but were O.K and would make their way down at first light. She wasn't prepared to wait this long and phoned the Police. This was a joint operation with Keswick MRT.

As a student at one of Britains esteemed Red Brick Universities, we were forced to question the judgement of this 20-year-old woman, when she went for a 'stroll' and ended up cragfast in an ice filled gully above Easedale Tarn. She can consider herself lucky that her cries for help were heard by two passing walkers, who raised the alarm. It is unlikely she would have survive the night in the sub zero conditions.

A 73-year-old in open toed sandals slipped and fractured her ankle. Due to simultaneous commitments Kendal MRT popped along to help us with this one.

A 14-year-old boy was assisted down the fell after sustaining a minor leg injury.
