Troutbeck

While the previous rescue was in full flow we were alerted to another incident involving a 16-year-old girl from a party of 13 who had fallen around 100metres down the fellside while the party were descending from Yoke. She suffered head, neck, chest and leg injuries. Other team members, not already involved with the previous rescue were dispatched, and along with a request to Kendal MRT and the helicopter to assist.

A 54-year-old male slipped and sustained a lower leg injury. He was treated by team members then evacuated to an ambulance waiting at the roadside.

We were requested to assist the ambulance service with the recovery of a motorcyclist who had gone off the road and down a road-side bank.

A woman slipped on a very icy path and sustained a suspected wrist fracture. She was given pain relief and evacuated to Ambleside for onward transport to hospital.
