Great Rigg

A man was reported overdue from a paragliding trip. His partner had located his vehicle in Grasmere but he was not with it. An initial hasty search was organised, followed by a more prolonged and complex search involving team members, search dogs, and a Coastguard helicopter. This was unsuccessful, and ended around 2am. A further search was planned and implemented at first light, involving team members from multiple other Lake District MRTs, and search dogs from the Lakes, England and Southern Scotland, with the man being found around 10:15am, seriously injured.

A woman slipped and sustained an ankle injury. She initially attempted to walk off but it proved too painful. She was treated and evacuated by the team

Search recommenced for women missing since 30th November. Teams from Bowland Pennine and Duddon MRTs plus dogs from SARDA were called to assist following the reciept of new information

A couple reported themselves stuck on snowy ground that had forced them to go back up hill and make benightment a certainty.

A group of five got lost in the mist. They were located quickly and escorted down the fell. It's unlikely they ever knew where they where.
 

A 52-year-old woman sustained a leg injury when she slipped on steep grass on the way down from Great Rigg. Her husband came down to raise the alarm, but then went back up the hill before we arrived. The grid reference given didn't make sense, so we had to search for an hour before we found her. She was treated and then carried down to the valley.
 

A woman was reported as suffering from severe abdominal pains. Her location was given as Lord Crag, but she was found at Great Rigg, 2.5km away. She evacuated by an RAF helicopter.

A couple phoned to say they were lost somewhere in the Great Rigg area. We were just organising a search, and finishing off dealing with the previous casualty, when they were found by people who did know where they where, and how to get down. They led them off. Just as well, because it was getting busy.

A woman with her 10-year-old son was reported as overdue from their walk.

Youth aged 15 years, from Tavistock, Devon, was taken ill, whilst on an exercise on Great Rigg Mann, Grasmere.

A couple reported themselves having difficulty finding their way of what they thought to be Great Rigg. They were given some directions and advice that should have led them in to the Rydal valley. We then lost touch with them, but had a reliable sighting of them in the Brotherswater Inn(!) later that evening. We eventually established that they had found their way off, and were safe.
