Agencies Involved: Keswick MRT

Whilst finishing up on our first call out of the day, the team received a second callout to a women that had twisted her ankle whilst descending from Ullock Pike via an unusual ‘off-piste’ route. The casualty who was with her companion and dog were on tricky terrain in Sandbeds Gill on the flanks of Ullock Pike.

The team ascended from the forrest tracks of Dodd Wood direct up the Gill to locate the casualty site. Once on scene a small team assessed and splinted the casualties ankle. The casualty was packaged for a stretcher carry off the hill. With a rope in place to provide support for the stretcher the difficult extraction started; down loose scree, through trees and over bracken.
