A 53 year old man, nearing the end of the Blencathra Fell Race, fell whilst descending the steep slopes of Souther Fell suffering a suspected broken/dislocated ankle. The team approached from the Glenderamackin Valley, near the Mill Inn, Mungrisedale. The man’s ankle was assessed and he was given some strong pain relief before his ankle was reduced (realigned). The man was then packaged for stretcher evacuation back to the valley from where he continued to hospital in a friend’s vehicle.
