The Team were called to a paraglider who had sustained a leg injury during a heavy landing on the flatter ground beneath Binsey. On arrival, the Team administered pain relief and immobilised the casualty in a vacuum mattress to prevent further injury. The casualty was then evacuated a short distance by stretcher to a NWAS ambulance for onward transport to hospital.

As callout 71 was underway, a second call came in for a walker who had fallen 3m from the Buttermere lakeshore path into the lake. The casualty was in a serious condition, having sustained multiple injuries and was cold and wet from being in the water for a prolonger period. As CMRT were already dealing with the paraglider incident on Binsey, the Team Leader asked for assistance from Keswick MRT, who duly obliged, sending through a full vehicle to lead the callout from the scene. The Binsey callout was soon dealt with and CMRT members made their way to assist KMRT at Buttermere. Read KMRT's account here. Many thanks to Keswick for helping us out again!

CMRT were asked to assist Keswick with a long stretcher carry for a walker who had injured their Ankle on Aaron Slack. See Keswick MRT's full report here.

Wasdale requested CMRT assistance to help search for a missing walker. As the Team began to mobilise, Wasdale MRT found the walker and were able carry out the rescue without further assistance.

Late in the evening on a stormy night, 2 walkers reported that one of them had hurt their knee high above Buttermere, and were unable to continue their descent back to the valley. The full Team was called out to what could potentially have been a difficult and protracted stretcher evacuation in very challenging conditions, with helicopter assistance impossible due to the weather conditions. Happily, with some pain relief, the walkers were able to slowly walk off the mountain on foot, with assistance from Team members.

A walker reported they had turned their ankle on the path near to Buttermere village. 2 Team members already down the valley made their way quickly to the location, whilst 2 vehicles made their way to Buttermere to effect a stretcher evacuation back to the village if necessary. Luckily, the walker was able to walk the short distance to the village with assistance from Team members.

A group of people exploring Scale Force, reported that one of the group had become cragfast, whilst another was stuck in the water. The Team began to mobilise, but shortly afterwards were notified that the group had managed to extract themselves from the waterfall and were no longer in danger.

Two walkers descending Pillar became stuck in the complex and precipitous West side of Pillar Rock. In darkness on the most dangerous ground in our area, the Team began preparing for a difficult rescue. Whilst en-route to the Ennerdale valley, a HM Coastguard helicopter coincidentally was flying back from the Langdale area and winched both casualties aboard, returning them to their vehicle at Gatesgarth, Buttermere.

Two friends had been out walking and, later afternoon went in search of Warnscale Bothy. As darkness approached, one of the friends decided to head back to their car, whilst the other continued their search, believing they were close. After some time, the walker who had returned to the car became worried for their friend and phoned the Police and Mountain Rescue for assistance. A Team member close by drove to Gatesgarth to meet up with the informant whilst the Team mobilised. On arrival however, the Team member found both walkers happily reunited and without injury.
