A man suffered a leg injury when he slipped and was unable to continue. He was treated and evacuated by the team
A radio enthusiast, received at Heysham an S.O.S. when a 39 year old man from Blackburn collapsed and died whilst on a club walk. The team was called and they conveyed the body down the fellside.
A 74-year-old male, walking with a family group, collapsed and was unable to move, probably due to fatigue. His son set off to get help, borrowed a mobile phone from a passer-by and contacted us. He then continued to descend with his young children, as a result of which we had no further contact with the casualty. We climbed on to the ridge but were unable to locate the man. He was eventually located by Kendal MRT descending in to Easedale under his own steam, having recovered sufficiently. He was given the once-over by Kendal MRT's doctor and allowed to go home.
A party of three men were halted when one of them was unable to continue because of a reoccurrence of an old leg injury. We located them and stretchered the injured one down to the valley. It was a fine spring day!!
