Great End (33)

Callout Date: 18/04/2025
Callout Time: 6:30 pm
Agencies Involved: Keswick MRT, Cockermouth MRT

As the team were approaching Stonethwaite at the end of callout 32 we got word of a 24 year old male with a leg injury who was cold and sheltering in a survival bag at Calf Cove behind Great End. Some of the team returned to base to sort out wet kit whilst others continued to Seathwaite. To boost numbers for a possible long stretcher carry Cockermouth team were requested to assist. The wetness of this Good Friday did not seem to have deterred people from going in the fells, most were well prepared for the conditions. The would be campers who we passed and who later abandoned their tents were clearly less well prepared. When the team were high on the Grains Gill path a message was received from Cumbria Police stating the casualty party no longer required emergency services and were making their own way off the hill. The teams returned to base to dry kit. Many thanks to Cockermouth for coming to our assistance.

13 Keswick and 12 Cockermouth team members – 2 hours 50 minutes
