Incident 58 of 2024
21/09/24, 11.28, Walna Scar track, SD274964
It was a warm but breezy late morning when Cumbria Police asked us to go to the assistance of a female mountain biker. She had come off her bike below Nettle Crag and just off the Walna Scar track, and injured her ankle.
Two vehicles were deployed and she was quickly located. Once assessed, she was given pain relief whilst her ankle was stabilised and splinted. The lady was stretchered to our Land Rovers and driven to where she was staying. Her husband then took her to the local hospital.
8 team members attended this incident which took 2 hrs 20 mins.
