Ullock Pike (4)

Callout Date: 11/01/2026
Callout Time: 2:35 pm
Agencies Involved: Keswick MRT, RAF Leeming MRT

A couple located by Carlside Tarn below Skiddaw called 999 and asked for assistance after the woman injured her ankle and could not weight bear. Poor mobile signal and bad weather meant that attempts to get more information failed. Meantime the couple made valiant efforts and somehow made it along to the top of Ullock Pike where they managed to get through to the police once again. The team, very gratefully assisted by members of RAF Leeming Mountain Rescue Team, made their way up the ridge of Ullock Pike in wet and very wild conditions to the casualty location. Once protected from the elements in a group shelter, the woman was given strong analgesia before her ankle was reduced (realigned) and splinted. The team and RAF members were then able to mostly sledge the casualty on the stretcher back down to the roadside. As ever many thanks to RAF Leeming MRT for their help.
