Mickleden

Three Team members were called to evacuate a man by Land Rover, who had collapsed in Mickleden with fatigue.

A 63 year old man from Preston suffered FATAL heart attack after finishing a walk with his wife. The Team conveyed his body down the fell.

A Boys Brigade Expedition requested help when two of their party, aged 17 and 18 from Kemston, suffered ankle injuries and blisters/exhaustion/exposure. A mini search ensued to find the rest of the group. The rescue was on at the same time as No. 34 above.

The Team went to the assistance of a 14 year old boy from Weston-Super-Mare, who suffered a leg injury and severely blistered feet, through wearing poor fitting boots.

The Team went to bring off the fell a 53 year old man from Connetticut, U.S.A. who had suffered a Heart Attack. The man could have taken the wrong pills at the wrong time and this misuse of Drugs could bring on anxiety and stress. Footnote: Not the best of patients to bring off the fell. I thought women could talk!! After this rescue a large hammer has been added to our medical equipment.
Weather Conditions: Warm, Sunny, Dry.

That was a pleasant break! And the first rescue we've done in a while wasn't to difficult either. A 14-year-old slipped and sustained a leg injury. It wasn't to tricky a place to get to.<td>
 

A 14-year-old boy was reported as suffering from the heat. We attended and found someone slightly weary, and a bit hot.

Have you seen the time! And not an April fool. And full-on appalling weather! A young camper suffered a fit and an ambulance was called. When they realised how far from the road he probably was, they called us. We were on our way when we were alerted to the fact that the young man had recovered, and walked out to meet the ambulance crew. Our help was no longer required so we returned to our beds. It's an hour lost from my life that I'll never recover!

Snow and freezing rain fell on frozen ground, causing very slippery conditions on every surface.

After an overnight high level camp a group of three young men were descending the Band when one of them became separated from the other two.

A 90-year-old man tripped and fell while walking. He felt dizzy and nauseous as a result.

A husband and wife from Preston were struck by lightning in Mickledon.
