Incident 69 of 2024
26/12/24, 14:55, Grisedale Hause, NY349116
On a damp and foggy afternoon, we were called by Cumbria Police about a male found unresponsive with a head injury. There was some uncertainty over the caller’s location which was settled with a phone locator function as being outside our area at Grisedale Hause so the job was passed to Langdale Ambleside MRT. They subsequently asked for assistance for a long stretcher-carry, and we despatched a Land Rover and five team members who made their way up the hill.
HM Coastguard helicopter Rescue 199 was available and able to lift the casualty off the fell, hence we were stood down. See Langdale Ambleside MRT’s Incident 128 on their website.
