Whilst descending the Corridor Route from Scafell Pike, a 60 year old man slipped and fell around 5m causing deep cuts to his head, and injuries to his hand and knee. Despite this he continued his descent towards Seathwaite in considerable pain until some passing walkers raised the alarm. Keswick team met the man on the Styhead tarn path, dressed his wounds and stretchered him to Seathwaite Farm.
