Incident 15 of 2025:-
29/04/25, 14.09, Old Man of Coniston, SD275980
It was the warmest afternoon of the year when CUMPOL (Cumbria Police) asked us to go to the assistance of a gentleman who was feeling very unwell above Low Water, on the way up to Coniston Old Man. Two vehicles were deployed to Windy Gap whilst we enquired whether we could get air support. Fortunately Helimed 08 was able to assist and they arrived on scene a couple of minutes before we did. The casualty was assessed and it was decided to airlift him to hospital for further assessment. We stretchered him to the helicopter which had been able to land further up the track.
The rest of the walking party was accompanied down to our Land Rovers and driven back to the village.
12 Team Members attended this incident which took 3 hours.
