The Team was asked to assist Wasdale with a long stretcher carry after a very difficult and protracted rescue. See Wasdale's full report here.

Reports of shouts for help were followed up, with a Team member going out to the location, but nothing could be heard or seen in the vicinity and the Team stood down.

A walker injured their leg on the mud flats of the River Eden near Rockcliffe. A number of emergency services were involved, with the Fire Serice first on scene. No further help was required from the Team and were stood down.

A mountain biker sustained injuries to their left arm and chest. Great North Air Ambulance were quickly on scene as they were already in the area and had managed to land very close by. On arrival to scene, the casualty's medical care was well underway. Oxygen and strong pain relief were being administered, and the left arm was splinted. Team members transferred the casualty carefully into the stretcher. Given the steep terrain, a rope system was set up to ensure a safe haul up to the forestry track. Once on the track, the casualty was carried a short way to the waiting helicopter. The mountain biker was flown to Newcastle for further treatment.

As the previous casualty was loaded into the helicopter, we received our second call-out of the day. A walker had sustained an ankle injury as they were making their way up Sale Fell. On arrival, the walker was in quite a lot of pain, and the ankle appeared misaligned. Strong pain relief was administered, the ankle realigned, and then splinted. The casualty was then loaded onto the stretcher before a short carry down to the gate to await the North West Ambulance Service ambulance.

As the casualty from call-out 85 was loaded into the ambulance, a third call-out came through for another ankle injury on the other side of Sale Fell. The two vehicles that had just been departing the previous call-out were able to drive round to the other side of Sale Fell, whilst a third vehicle made its way from base. On arrival, the walker was in some pain but in good spirits. Pain relief was provided and the ankle was splinted before the casualty was loaded onto the stretcher and carried down to the gate.

A walker became separated from their group, but after further enquiries, met up again before any further Team deployment became necessary.

A couple of walkers found themselves high on the fell in the dark, intending to wild camp, though had become very cold and were uncertain of their location. The Team Leader gave them advice over the phone and the walkers were able to safely camp and make their way back down in daylight the following morning.
