Langdale and Ambleside MRT, on their third callout of the day, paged the team for assistance. A walker had reported themselves lost and injured. After search, the casualty was located in Scale Gill in Langdale, and had suffered a suspected lower leg break. The team sent two response vehicles, arriving on scene as the light started to fade.

We were able to assist in evacuating the stretcher the the roadside, where they were transferred to an LAMRT vehicle which would meet the land ambulance in Ambleside.
