Agencies Involved: Keswick MRT, NWAS

A keen and well prepared 20 year old hiker was returning from an ascent of Scafell Pike when so very close to the finish, at Stockley Bridge above Seathwaite, he went over on his ankle and re-damaged an old injury to his knee. Unable to walk he had no option but to call for a rescue. On arrival team members gave him some additional pain relief, he had already had some from his own first aid kit, vacuum splinted his leg and carried him to the road from where an ambulance promptly took him to hospital for checks.
