On 7 June 2025 at 16:24 Cumbria Police received a call from a group of ladies walking in the Grisedale valley as one of them had sustained a suspected ankle fracture.

The Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was called out and made their way to an initial grid reference that had been supplied above Lantys tarn. Unfortunatley once at the location the Team was unable to locate the casualty.

The Team widened the search area and  whilst searching a further update was received providing a new location next to Braesteads Farm within the valley. The Team redeployed to the new location where the casualty was quickly located. The casualty was in good spirits and was soon assessed and packaged before being transferred to the nearby Team vehicle.

The callout lasted 3 hours with 13 team members.
