On Sunday 27th April at 13.16hrs Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was called by Cumbria Police to a lady who was walking near Glenridding and unable to continue due to an injury.  The call had been reported by another walker who had left the scene and as the Duty Leader was unable to contact the casualty the full team were called out.

As the team had been training in the morning the first Land Rover was quickly away due to some members being still at the Rescue Base.  The casualty was met by the Land Rover on the track heading up to Kepple Cove after she had managed to walk painfully down from her original location on the Zig Zags.  The woman and her partner were conveyed back down the track and after a further examination was carried out by the team Doctor. At Patterdale Base it was found that she was cold and had a low temperature. She was given warm dry clothing  and warm drinks and allowed to travel home with her partner.

14 Team members attended the Rescue which took just over an hour to complete.
