Fellwalking

Lady, slipped, fractured leg, stretchered off!!

The team eventually found this lady in the woods, where she had fallen, breaking her lower leg. An accurate location would have been useful!

A fast party of team members were sent to search the area after a report of flashing lights. Nothing was found. It was a very starry night though. Better to have been in bed really.

Two members went to the scene, no help was required, but to top off the situation they asked if we could run them back to Keswick. One had to bite one's lip and check the diary for appointments!!

We joined Keswick MRT in a search for a couple who had become exhausted somewhere around the Greenup Edge area. They were uncertain of their location, and communication was poor. Teams were dispatched into Greenup Ghyll, Wythburn and Far Easedale. They were located by Keswick team members near Lining Crag and assisted off.

While trying to work out whom, if anyone, was missing from the previous incident, we were notified of a second missing pair, unrelated to the first group. This time we managed to speak to them quickly, having worked out where they were, and were able to direct them to within sight of Stickle Tarn, from where they were able to locate a way down

A man suffered a suspected heart attack near the summit of Dove Crag. We called Kendal MRT and a helicopter to help. The helicopter got there before all of us, so all we could do was turn round and walk back down again. He was taken to Carlsisle hospital for treatment.

We were alerted to this incident by an informantdescending to Kirkstone Pass summit. A vehicle was dispatched but further investigation confirmed that Patterdale MRT had been notified of this incident and were already dealing with it.
