Callout 29

A walker undertaking the Coast to Coast slipped and took a tumbling fall down Loft Beck, overlooking Ennerdale. A full call-out was initiated with Team members approaching from both Honister and Ennerdale. Initial details suggested a significant fall and potential head injury. A Coastguard Helicopter was requested, fortunately Rescue 897 was training in the area and diverted to assist. Rescue 897 was first on scene and completed an initial assessment and found the casualty to have sustained a significant back injury. CMRT packaged the casualty and carried them to Rescue 897 for onward transport to the Cumberland Infirmary.
