Little Langdale

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.

This 49 year old woman slipped and sustained a possible ankle fracture. She was splinted and evacuated to hospital. They're fickle things, ankles you know. If they're so fragile, why stick them out there at the end of your leg? All exposed to the elements and rough ground and dodgy foot-wear decisions. They'd be far better tucked inside a pair of slippers, next to the dog, in front of the fire where they're safe from harm. Except for athletes foot, warts, verrucas, ingrown toenails, gout, gangrene...

A concerned husband, having earlier parted company, reported his wife missing saying "I'm sure something has happened to her". After searching the fells she turned up at a bus shelter in Coniston safe and well. Yet another classic!!

A 37 year old man, with a history of epilepsy, was unconscious for two and a half hours having multiple fits. The team stabilised his condition with appropriate drugs and RAF Leconfield flew him to Furness General Hospital.
