Coppermines Valley 10th May 2015 12:20hrs 19/2015

It was mild, dull and dry, but with a low cloud cover over the fells.

The Team was asked to go to the aid of a gentleman who had become unwell whilst walking up the Hole Rake track above Coppermines Valley. He was part of a large Rambling Group who were very helpful in directing us to his location.

Two Land Rovers were deployed quickly, and the casualty was soon found and made comfortable. He was stretchered about ½ mile down the path to a waiting North West Air Ambulance for his onward journey to Lancaster Royal Infirmary.

14 members attended  this call out which took 1 ¾ hours .
