Gt Langdale

In atrocious weather conditions, the team was called to assist a man who had become separated from his walking companion. Unfortunately he was discovered fatally injured at the bottom of the ghyll, seemingly having fallen some 70 metres from the path. We had requested the assistance of an RAF SAR helicopter, but they were unable to reach us in the prevailing weather conditions.

A man slipped on a frozen path and fractured his lower leg. He was treated by team members and stretchered to the valley floor.

A woman slipped on a very icy path and sustained a suspected lower leg fracture. She was treated by team members and then, with some difficulty due to the ice, was evacuated to our ambulance.

A man slipped and fell approximately 5 metres down steep bank, sustaining a nasty head injury and suspected neck injury. He was treated by Paramedics and a doctor from the air ambulance, and then evacuated from the steep ground by the team.
