the callout procedure by the wife of the Team founder, Dr James Ogilvie, in the 1960s when few members had telephones and pagers had not been invented. Speeches followed covering the entire era and there were plenty of opportunities to catch up and to renew acquaintances. A big “Thank you” goes to everyone at Patterdale Hall for hosting such a wonderful celebration of our half century.

October brought an opportunity for Supporters

to attend a Rescue Centre Open Day and inspect the various aspects of our work and latest equipment along with refreshments. The event was made all the more special by some Supporters who are members of a ukulele band – their impromptu performances kept everyone entertained.

Finally, the celebrations concluded with our Christmas

dinner and dance when 100 people spanning the 50 years of the Team met, bringing to a close a very special year. I would like to express my thanks to all those who helped in running these various events and also those who supported us and those who worked on the Legacies Campaign (see pages 8/9) as part of the 50th anniversary celebrations too.

Chairman2014 was always going to

be a very busy year and so it proved. We reached our 50th anniversary as a Team and celebrated this landmark with a series of events throughout the year. Firstly, a relaxed social night held in March at the Quiet Site (one of our local camping sites) who are great supporters of the Team. In June, we were joined by our Supporters for a cruise on Ullswater, kindly hosted by Ullswater Steamers. We enjoyed an excellent buffet and live music whilst watching the beautiful scenery, amid sunshine on a lovely calm evening. One couple who had never previously attended one of our cruises had already eaten their evening meal, thinking at just £15 per ticket the buffet could only be light nibbles! How wrong they were.

Then Saturday July 19th saw our largest get together of

Team members, past and present, together with representatives of partner organisations and members of the local community, all with connections to us. In all, some two hundred people attended Patterdale Hall to enjoy the various displays showing the history of the Team since its formation through to the present day. Proceedings were started by a former Deputy Team Leader, Steve Pym, who fired two blasts on his shotgun. This replicated

Early 2014 saw the introduction of our new trailer with its

multi-purpose role of education, fundraising and, when needed, remote control room. The trailer was funded out of generous donations in remembrance of Chris Bygate, who sadly died whilst climbing in Patterdale. We are indebted to his fiancée, Gar-Ling Ng, and his friends and family for their magnificent effort. The trailer has been used on many occasions throughout the year and always draws a crowd which in turn generates even more interest in our work.

Since buying out the lease of the land on which the Rescue

Centre stands, we have spent a lot of time clearing overgrown bushes and trees, improving the appearance and allowing space for outdoor training when not actually on the fells. We are currently looking at the feasibility of a small extension to allow the building of a changing room, something which was omitted in the original design. Not so much an oversight then as it was mainly just blokes with beards. Now we are well represented by some excellent young women, providing a much needed balance. I have had representations by the said ‘blokes’ that a unisex changing room will be ideal but I think we can do better than that!

This is my fifth and final report as Chair as I will be

stepping down from the role at our AGM in Spring 2015. Our rules quite properly limit the time a person can hold the position and I personally believe that it is always in the best interest of an organisation to foster change and keep everything fresh. I would like to thank the Trustees, Team members and all of you for your support which has made my job much easier than it would otherwise have been and also a pleasure to carry out. I hope to continue as a Trustee for some years yet and look forward to working with a new Chair soon.

Thank you.John Williams

Chairman

Well, our 50th year proved to be our

busiest too. We celebrated in style with old friends, Team members, families and even some former casualties and yet still managed a record number of call outs to those in need of our help – 85 incidents in all.

It was a year when Martin Cotterell, former Team leader, was injured in the line of duty. He is on the mend and beginning to get out and about again but his serious ankle and leg injury was a reminder that we do actually place ourselves at risk when we go out to help others, even if we accept that and put it to the back of our minds for most of the time.

As the Team gets busier, we see an even greater draw on the resources of our volunteer members and their families. It is to their credit that we continue to offer a free 24/7 capability, even though I am all too aware that many members of the public still believe this is a government-funded service.

We are, as ever, extremely grateful to those people who donate or help with fundraising activities thus reducing the amount of additional time we need to spend on that strand of being a voluntary organisation. To have a team of Supporters – the team behind the Team – makes a huge difference and those people behind the scenes are much appreciated. Thank you!

2014 was a year when we considerably increased our educational resources, with the

purchase of a new trailer that incorporates some impressive images, plenty of storage space and the means to create a mobile booth or even a remote control room if required. Thanks to those Team members who put so much work into creating the trailer and huge thanks also go to the generous friends and family of Chris Bygate. Much of the funding for the trailer was raised in Chris’s memory and it was great to see it being well used and appreciated by the public during 2014. I trust and hope that this is a fitting memorial to a much-loved man.

Looking ahead, we are starting to see a need to update our radios to ensure good communication links on the fells. Our current radio system is over ten years old and has served us well in that time but it is in need of updating – we are all aware that, without effective radios, we find it more difficult to provide a coordinated response. As we consider moving to a digital system, we know that 2015 will involve another major investment in equipment and it reminds us of the invaluable support of everyone who contributes to our funds in so many ways.

I would like to take this opportunity to formally thank everyone who has helped the Team to be successful in 2014. Land owners, Trustees, Team members, families, supporters and fundraisers alike. As we saw at Patterdale Hall in July, the Team has involved a phenomenal range and number of people in its first 50 years and I anticipate that this will be just as much the case in our next 50 years.

In its 50th year, the Team launched a campaign to encourage supporters to remember us in their wills.

“Legacies and wills are sensitive issues, so it is vital that a small charity like us takes care to do the right thing,” said Chris Gaskarth, the Team member who led the campaign. “A legacy can make a significant contribution to our running costs, which are currently about £70,000 per annum.”

“We worked with Trevor Price, a Director of Arnison Heelis Solicitors in Penrith,” explained Chris, “and he helped us to put together a publicity leaflet, an information booklet and pages for our website that we hope give people accurate guidance and advice if they want to include the Team in their will.”

Trevor has been advising the Team on its legal affairs for over 15 years and, in his broader work, he’s seen a growth of interest in local charities in recent years: “A decade or so ago, someone including a legacy to a charity in their will would usually go for one of the big national or international charities. However, things have really swung away from that now,” he said. “For us, the most popular areas for legacies are now very much the local charities - hospices, the air

ambulance, animal refuges and, of course, mountain rescue. I think people have more confidence that their donation will be well spent in a smaller organisation and used as they’d intended.”

The first people to receive the legacies leaflet from Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team were members of its Supporters’ Club and the local businesses in the area who advertise in the Team’s Annual Report.

The legacies campaign is ongoing. Anyone interested in supporting the Team in this way can find out more on the Team’s website at www.patterdalemrt.org.uk.

Plan for a legacyLegacies and bequests are a valuable source of income for charities like us.

After providing for your loved ones, please consider leaving a legacy to Patterdale Mountain Rescue Association (the charity behind the Team). Any size or kind of gift, large or small, pays for the equipment and training our volunteers need to stay safe on the mountains and to save more lives - today and into the future.

It costs almost £2,000 to kit out a mountain rescue team member with protective clothing and equipment for the mountains

Patterdale Mountain Rescue Association Limited is the administrative organisation and the charity behind Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team. It is a registered charity, number 1063329.

The Legacies booklet includes information about options and approaches to legacies and is the main reference for anyone considering a legacy to the Team. The Codicil form is a very specific document that enables you to add a gift to us to your existing Will.

The Intention form is a useful and simple way for you to let us know of your plans. The contents of your Will are private but it would be helpful if you could tell us if you are thinking about leaving a gift to us in your Will. This also gives us an opportunity to thank you and invite you to see how your gift could be used by the Team.

All gifts in Wills are important, regardless of size and we are grateful to all our Supporters for their continued donations, fundraising and gifts. If you would like more information about leaving a legacy to Patterdale Mountain Rescue Association, please contact the Team via the website.

Thank you.

2014 was the busiest year in the Team’s history with 85 callouts. This level of demand for our services puts even greater pressure on team equipment, personal PPE (personal protection equipment) and clothing. Consequently, there seems to have been a continual need to repair or replace kit. Twice in the past year one of our Bell stretchers has had to go into the experts for extensive repairs after recovery of casualties on the head wall of Helvellyn – and that’s indicative of the type of pressure on our equipment given the conditions on the fells.

We have also welcomed six new probationers this year, all of whom have been supplied with a full set of personal Team kit to ensure that they’re equipped for whatever our activities throw at them. In addition, all Team members have been issued with new light weight over trousers and team shirts.

The most significant purchase overall this year has been an Autopulse unit. This is a specialist piece of kit that enables us to provide consistent, high-quality, automated CPR to casualties from the point when we get to them through vehicle transfers and on to their arrival in hospital. This comes at a hefty price of £10,000 but will surely save lives over the coming years.

We also completed the work on our new Team trailer and, since an

event with the amazingly generous friends and family of Chris Bygate to mark its completion and handover, this has seen service at events across the valley, raising awareness, providing a mobile base and a focus for supporters past, present and future to find out more about our work.

Out of necessity, we have three emergency vehicles, all of which are capable of being driven off road. All three can be used as ambulances, but in practice, two tend to carry personal and Team kit, whilst the other is an ambulance or people carrier. The vehicles are in service for 12 years, meaning a vehicle costing approximately £50,000 (including conversion) is replaced on a rotational basis every four years. Our oldest vehicle will be due for replacement at the end of 2015. These figures highlight the fact that we have to allow about £1,000 every single month for replacement of vehicles.

Communications are expected to be an area of large expenditure over the next couple of years too. Good comms while we are out on the fell are imperative. We will be looking at updating and

improving our systems and radios to be as good as they can be … unfortunately, the mountains will always seem to get in the way!

In other areas, we have continued to update our avalanche kit over the last year, to complement the large amount of training we now undertake to be ready for the threat of avalanches in our area. Maintenance and servicing of our vehicles, boat, and trailer are also large considerations along with an endless need to replace batteries and flares. Even small things make a difference and I’d like to thank Bridgedale who continue to sponsor us by supplying each Team member with several pairs of high-quality walking socks twice a year.

The only way to meet our costs is by the continuing generosity of our supporters, so a very big thank you from the whole Team. As a result of your support, we undertake our many rescues throughout the year with kit and equipment that gives the best possible outcome to those who need our help, while protecting Team members at the same time.

Finally, I should like to thank members of the Equipment Committee who continue to put in a lot of hard work that contributes greatly to the safe, smooth running of the Team.

training

The role of training officer can be as challenging as it is rewarding. The challenge comes in creating a training programme which meets the needs of a Team comprising not only ‘new starters’ but also ‘old hands’ whilst at the same time being varied, enjoyable and engaging – so there is an important balance to be struck.

However, the opportunity to train with other agencies, teams or organisations is always one of the highlights, which works for everyone, and this featured in our training programme on several occasions over the past year.

It started early in 2014 when around half of our Team headed to the Cairngorms for winter training and benefited from input from Charlie MacLeod, the training officer with Assynt Team in north-west Scotland. Charlie introduced some of the new avalanche search management techniques which were being developed in Mountain Rescue in Scotland through lectures and practical sessions out on the hill. Although not a situation we are likely to be faced with often, there have been several avalanches in our patch over the years so it’s important that Team members keep their skills up to date.

x13

Closer to home, during a multi-agency rescue in our area last year involving other mountain rescue teams, police, fire service, ambulance and RAF, a piece of equipment – an Autopulse – provided by Langdale Ambleside Rescue Team (LAMRT) was used. Following this we bought our own Autopulse, a potentially lifesaving piece of equipment which provides automatic chest compressions in the event of cardiac arrest. Dr Les Gordon from LAMRT very kindly came along to one of our evening training sessions to share his knowledge and experience. He gave us training in the use of the Autopulse as well as delivering a lecture on hypothermia.

The Team has also trained with the Air Ambulance and RAF, two agencies whom we work with on a fairly regular basis. We took a trip out to the Air Ambulance hanger for a familiarisation session, comparing the kit and resources they have on board with what we carry in our Land Rover ambulances – knowing each other’s capabilities assists in the smooth and efficient running of a rescue. Andy Dalton, a paramedic with the Air Ambulance, also came over to our base to deliver a series of lectures and practical sessions in advanced first aid.

We regularly train with the RAF as they are often called upon to assist in rescues involving serious injury. It’s vitally important, from a safety perspective, that Team members are trained in entry and egress protocols, winching and managing a casualty in a stretcher onto a helicopter. Over the years we’ve had excellent training days

with the RAF but this training is now starting to wind down as the transition is made to ‘Bristow’ - the organisation taking over the role of the RAF in Search & Rescue in the UK - and their Sikorsky helicopters. Training on the Sikorsky is underway and we’ve had several training sessions with our colleagues from other rescue teams in the Lake District.

We were also privileged to have a weather lecture given by Alan Goodman, a Met Office civil contingencies weather forecaster. Alan regularly sends us information when extreme weather that may have an impact on the Team is forecast. It was great to meet the man behind the missives as well as benefit from his wealth of knowledge.

Training with other teams, organisations and agencies really drives home how much we are part of a bigger team all working together to help people who find themselves injured or in difficulty in the countryside and on the fells. On behalf of the Team, I’d like to extend our thanks to everyone who has given up their time to deliver training or to train alongside us to help us maintain and develop our skills.

MEDICAL Dan Farley, co-ordinator of the Team’s Medical Group summarises 2014’s developments, especially as they relate to hypothermia.

“As someone who is not a medical professional, one of the privileges of being involved in the medical provision for the Team is that I get to work alongside and learn from doctors who are at the cutting edge of mountain rescue medicine. Technology and medical knowledge seem to have moved forward hand in hand over the past year and the Team has been the testing ground for some of this.

For a while, the LDSAMRA (Lake District Search and Mountain Rescue Association) Medical Sub-committee has been working on the protocol for dealing with profoundly cold (hypothermic) casualties and how best to use a new piece of equipment which has become available. Called an Autopulse, it provides consistent, external, mechanical cardiac massage. Basically, it squeezes the chest of a casualty to circulate the blood around the body as you would when doing life support. This can then keep a patient alive while they are evacuated on a stretcher (where manual chest compressions are not possible),

transferred into vehicles and, ideally, flown by helicopter to a hospital with suitable re-warming facilities.

At the end of March 2014, the Team was called to an incident where these procedures were put to the test (see incident 17).

In a multi-team, multi-agency rescue, we provided continuous cardio pulmonary resuscitation to a casualty who was then placed on an Autopulse brought in by the Langdale Ambleside Team. She was then flown by RAF Sea King helicopter to Wythenshaw Hospital in Manchester for re-warming. She was alive on arrival at hospital though she sadly died later in intensive care.

The incident prompted the Team to invest in its own Autopulse - no small investment at a total price of about £10K - and the LDSAMRA protocols were further reviewed and tweaked after this incident too. Since then, and thanks to a generous donation from Rotary Cumbria and Lancashire, several other teams have also purchased Autopulses. These are now available to all the Cumbrian rescue teams and the LDSAMRA procedures have been adopted by Mountain Rescue England and Wales as national guidance. But the best equipment is only as good as the training of the personnel who use it.

x15

This year, we have benefited from training sessions provided by one of the Great North Air Ambulance paramedics who has given up several evenings to provide medical training to the Team. Thanks also to our Team doctors (now three of them) who provide their professional skills both to our casualties and in training to the rest of us! Of course medical equipment costs money to buy and to maintain; increasingly so since the drive to improve standards has led to an increase in single use disposable items and almost everything has an expiry date after which it needs to be replaced. Cutting edge treatment is only possible thanks to the generous support and donations of our supporters and the public. Last year, the purchase of the Autopulse more than doubled our medical equipment spending. We would like to be able to do the same in 2015, primarily to replace our training manikins so that they can support training with new equipment. On behalf of the Medical Group and the Team, I’d like to thank everyone reading this for their interest in our work and their support. And I’d like to thank everyone in the medical group for their commitment to ensuring that we can offer casualties the best possible care in an emergency.”

Dan FarleyTeam Medical Group

The Team continues to benefit from the amazing support of people across the country and also from local businesses in and around Patterdale. That support is very much appreciated and a huge THANK YOU goes to everyone reading this Annual Report – especially if you have made a contribution into a collection box or you’re receiving this as a member of our Supporters’ Club.

Our costs continue to climb and the announcement in 2014 about national Government support will only relate to a rebate on VAT – so we only get that back on things we’re already buying. It is good to know that money raised for the work of the Team can be used for exactly that and we will still be investing in vehicles, equipment and kit as well as spending on fuel, insurance and utilities for the foreseeable future.

Our 50th yearWe had some great donations to mark our 50th year – including Patterdale Church and Sunderland Lions as well as Penrith Inner Wheel, who raised money with a supermarket bag pack and split the proceeds between us and Penrith MRT. Two outdoors businesses also got involved in fundraising with Lakeland Trails

donating £1000 to the Team and Patterdale Walking raising over £300 too.Our focus on legacies for our 50th year created press coverage and some interest. Income from legacies increased in 2014 but we recognise that this is a long-term campaign and something that is very much an investment in future funding and donations. Thank you if you are still considering this aspect of your support for the Team and please get in touch with us if you have any queries or questions about a legacy.

Local supportHuge thanks go to lots of people in the valley and around Penrith who raise money for the Team – individuals and businesses.

Rachael Moseley, one of our youngest and yet most committed local fundraisers, continues to contribute and has great plans for expeditions in 2015. Also on our doorstep, Park Foot Caravan and Camping Park, Troutbeck Caravan Park, The Quiet Site at Watermillock and Whitbarrow Caravan Park

all raised money for the Team during 2014. There were often special events that involved a lot of extra work and time as well as the energy and enthusiasm of visitors and staff alike. Thank you to all of you – and to other local accommodation providers for advertising with us in the Annual Report too.

A new Thank you goes to the organisers of the first Patterdale Terrier Day. This was a really fun event (and one of the first to feature our new Trailer) and it raised £500 for the Team. Thank you to everyone involved and good luck as you plan for 2015.

Trailer on tourHaving the new Trailer to use at events as a base for meeting people and telling them more about our work has been a big plus during 2014. Huge thanks go to the family and friends of Chris Bygate for their massive contribution of £10,000 towards the Team trailer. We’ve only had it for about a year but it is very much part of our work at events, in schools and around the area. People spot us easily, seem to have more time to chat and

we can keep it stocked with gifts and cards too. In 2015, we hope to have educational packs which Anja Phoenix is working on so we can use them when we go into schools. You may have seen Anja’s family walking leaflets already so we’re looking forward to seeing her latest ideas very soon.

Scrap your car for the TeamWe continue to participate in the Giveacar scheme (see details on page 63) and have had the proceeds from three old cars donated during 2014, amounting to about £350.

Supporters’ ClubFinally, a plug for our Supporters’ Club. This has been running now since 1998 and is a huge benefit to the Team as it enables us to keep in touch with regular supporters and also predict and anticipate part of our income. Members receive this Annual Report and two issues of Patrick Relay newsletter each year and membership starts at just £12 per annum. We also issue car stickers and a special membership badge.If you (or a friend) would like to know more, see page 39 for further details and please consider joining the Club – we call it the team behind the Team and it is a really valuable way of supporting us and keeping in touch.

A woman from Chesterfield slipped on wet grass and fractured her ankle while descending from Great Mell Fell. One of her companions, finding that she did not have a mobile phone signal, made her way from the fell to call for help. Cumbria Police alerted the Team and members were on scene and treating her within 30 minutes of the initial call. She was given pain relief and her leg was splinted to stabilise the fracture. An hour later, after being carried down the fell in a stretcher, she was transferred to an ambulance and taken to hospital in Carlisle.

The Team received a request from Cumbria Police to assist with the search for a 26-year-old man from Penrith who had gone missing following a party at a hotel in Glenridding. He had last been seen leaving the building shortly after 22:00 the previous evening. 14 Team members responded together with six Lake District search dogs. In darkness and driving rain, the grounds of the hotel and the routes the man might have followed were searched and the Team’s rescue boat was launched to search the Ullswater Lake. Nothing was found and the Team was stood down. The search resumed in subsequent days and the Police have also pursued other lines of enquiry.

The man, a solo walker from Warrington, had found himself in white out conditions on the summit of Caudale Head but had slipped and fallen 150 metres down a steep snow-covered slope while trying to take a bearing back to his bunkhouse. Whilst falling, he lost his dog, crampon and both walking poles but he survived the fall with only cuts, bruises and a sore shoulder. He had made a concerted effort to climb back up and find his dog but rightly turned back when the terrain became too difficult. The following morning, the Team went prepared to search avalanche prone terrain. Members of the Team and the man climbed for an hour and a half to reach the corrie and then formed a line to search the area. When they arrived there was no sign of the missing dog, a large area to

search and lots of snow, which in some places was waist deep. With snow shovels, probes, avalanche transceivers and ice axes, the Team set about their task. After an hour of searching, the Team spotted a dog sitting on a small rocky outcrop. Minutes later, they found a broken walking pole, a crampon and eventually another pole. The line that the man had fallen down the day before was clearly evident. Amazingly, Bonnie the dog had survived the night and stayed at the top of her master’s fall. With a bacon sandwich inside her and some dog treats, she was able to walk down the steep mountainside to be reunited with her master. Seven team members were involved for five hours.

The Team was called to a 49-year-old man and his friend who had tumbled about 100 metres down a snow gully while ascending Swirral Edge on Helvellyn. One man was uninjured while the other had head, neck and back injuries. An MR team member from Coniston came across the pair and, together with the Lake District National Park Fell Top Assessor who was passing, went to their initial assistance, checking the men for injuries, securing them, and calling 999. The Great North Air Ambulance responded to the incident but was unable to reach the men. It dropped a doctor and paramedic at the tarn below the ridge and then ferried two Patterdale MR Team members up to the same location. Although the casualty’s injuries were not life threatening, they required his immobilisation

and a stretcher evacuation. An RAF Sea King helicopter from Boulmer was requested and further Team members climbed to the casualty site on foot while it was scrambled. Assistance from Penrith MR team was also requested. Due to the cloud level, the RAF helicopter was also unable to reach the two men so the MR Team lowered the casualty on a stretcher about 300 metres down a steep, wet snow gully to Red Tarn to rendezvous with the helicopter at the tarn outfall. The rescue took about five hours and involved 10 members of Patterdale MR Team, four from Penrith MRT, one from Coniston MRT, the LDNP Fell Top Assessor, the Great North Air Ambulance and an RAF Sea King helicopter.

The Team, with the assistance of six search dog handlers who were training in the Ullswater valley, treated the woman for her injuries, splinted her leg and stretchered her from the fell to a waiting Team Land Rover. She was then transported to Hartsop and on to the Rescue Centre where an ambulance was waiting to take her to Cumberland Infirmary Carlisle. Seven Team members and six LDMRSDA dog handlers were involved for just over two hours.

and showed Team members where the men were sheltering. The men, who were safe at the time, were asked to remain where they were until the Team arrived. Five Team members were making their way to the stranded party in atrocious weather conditions when the call came through that the wind had abated and the two men had made their way off the fell towards Thirlmere.

The Team battled winds in excess of 80mph to rescue two walkers who had become lost after climbing Helvellyn. The Team was called by Cumbria Police to go to the aid of the two men. Before leaving the Rescue Centre, the Team was able to locate them by sending a text message which then confirmed their location. Five Team members then ascended to High Crag via Dollywaggon Pike and helped the men from the mountain. They were very cold and wet but otherwise unhurt. Nine Team members were involved for over five hours.

27/10/2014 01.12Glencoyne72

Res

cue

The team was called by Cumbria Police to go to the assistance of

a group of six young people who had got into difficulties while camping near to Glencoyne. The group had been caught out by the very strong winds and heavy rain and had descended on steep ground to find shelter. During the evening each of their tents had blown down and the group ended up sheltering in one of the damaged tents. One of the group was reported to be suffering from hypothermia and all of them were cold and wet. Due to the severe weather, the number of young people in the group, and possible multiple casualties, the Team called for assistance from Penrith and Kirby Stephen MR teams to help evacuate the group safely off the fell. The young people were then transported back to the Rescue Centre where they were given hot drinks, food and dry clothes. The group was well equipped. The rescue lasted five hours and involved ten members of Patterdale MRT along with six from Penrith and 14 from Kirkby Stephen MR teams.

28/10/2014 18.42High Dodd73

The Team was called by Cumbria Police to assist a group of eleven young people who were wild camping between Place Fell and High Dodd above Ullswater. It was reported that one of the group was suffering from hypothermia and dropping in and out of consciousness. After the Team established contact with the informant, a further member of the party was reported as being in the early stages of hypothermia. Given the size of the group and the poor weather conditions earlier in the day, the Team requested the support of Penrith

32x INCIDENT REPORT

and Kirkby Stephen MR teams and an RAF Sea King helicopter which was despatched from an RAF base on Anglesey. When the Team arrived on scene, a doctor assessed the young people and it was decided that three of the group along with their teacher were to be airlifted to hospital in Barrow-in-Furness suffering from the effects of the cold and wet weather. Sixteen members of the Team, 12 from Penrith MRT and 15 from Kirkby Stephen MRT were involved in a rescue that lasted for over four hours.

29/10/2014 10.56Howtown74

The Team was called to assist with the rescue of a casualty from the fellside above Howtown. NWAS treated the casualty on scene before five members of the Team assisted with the transfer of the casualty down to the waiting ambulance where he was transferred to hospital for further treatment. The rescue involved eight members of the Team and lasted two hours.

01/11/2014 10.15Rooking75

Res

The ambulance service requested the Team’s assistance after a man fell into a stream and was reported to be unconscious near to Rooking in Patterdale.

02/11/2014 10.40Ullswater Shore76

Res

cue

The Team was called to assist two adventure race participants who had fallen and sustained injuries at around the same time on Sunday morning. The first, a man from Cumbria, had fallen and sustained a head injury. When the Team arrived, two other runners, a passing medic from the North West Air Ambulance and a member of another MR team, had stopped to assist him. The man was assessed and found to have a deep laceration to his head. While the rescue was taking place a Sea King helicopter passed overhead and the Team requested assistance with the rapid evacuation of the man. He was transferred from a difficult section of the footpath to the opposite side of the lake where the Sea King was able to land safely. The helicopter then flew the man to Carlisle Hospital where he received stitches for the wound and was later released.

02/11/2014 10.40Silver Bay77

Res

The second casualty from the race was a woman who had slipped and sustained an ankle injury about one kilometre from incident 76. She was cold and needed to be transferred quickly so the Team requested the assistance of the helicopter again. The Sea King returned and the woman was transferred to hospital. Given that the Team was dealing with two incidents and there were well over 1000 participants in the race, Penrith MRT was asked to assist with this second incident. They were stood down en route after

INCIDENT REPORT x33

the helicopter arrived. During the afternoon, two further race participants turned up at the Team’s fundraising trailer suffering from the effects of the cold. One man was provided with warm clothing and a woman was placed in a sleeping bag, given heat pads and spent the next couple of hours in a Land Rover warming up. Twelve Patterdale Team members were involved in these two rescues for approximately three hours.

17/11/2014 17.09Swirral Edge78 Se

arch

The Team was tasked by Cumbria Police to a report of missing persons in the Lantys Tarn area above Patterdale. The Team tried contacting the missing persons but, due to poor mobile phone coverage, this was not possible. The Team issued a “SARLOC text” which allowed the location of the persons to be given on the search and rescue mapping system. The location was given as 300 metres from the outfall of Red Tarn and Team members were tasked to the given location. A second SARLOC message was issued to confirm that the persons were descending in the right direction towards Greenside Mine as instructed. Unfortunately, the revised location placed the missing persons on Swirral Edge so they were instructed to stay put. Team members quickly located them and, after a quick assessment on scene, walked them off towards Greenside Mine above Glenridding. The callout lasted five hours and involved 13 members of the Team.

22/11/2014 07.28Mosedale79

Res

The Team was called by Penrith MRT to assist in the search for three men who had been out on the fells all night and had become lost and disorientated. One was reported as very cold. As nine Team members were preparing to leave to assist, the call came through that the three had been located and were able to walk off the fell with some of the Penrith team members.

23/11/2014 15.08Bleaberry Knott80

Res

As the Team was just finishing a six-hour training session in Grisedale, they were called to assist a man who had injured his ankle near to Bleaberry Knott. Within an hour of the callout, Team members were on scene and the man was assessed and treated by the Team doctor. He was then stretchered by torchlight to Deepdale and transferred to a Land Rover before onward transfer by NWAS ambulance to Kendal. The rescue lasted two hours and involved 12 Team members.

07/12/2014 14.33Brothers Water81

The Team was alerted following reports of shouts for help above Brothers Water. When the Team arrived, it turned out to be a farmer working his sheepdog and trying to move a sheep off a crag. This was a false alarm report with good intent.

31/12/2014 14.11Helvellyn85

Res

cue

On New Year’s Eve, the Team was called to assist a man who had become stuck on the face of Helvellyn in atrocious weather. The Team made contact with the man via mobile phone and ascertained that he had made his way onto the headwall of the mountain to avoid the snow above, having no ice axe or crampons with him. The

man had traversed until he was unable to return the way he had come or go ahead, becoming stuck on a small ledge. An RAF Sea King helicopter from RAF Boulmer, which had been in Carlisle at the time, came to assist the Team and managed to airlift five members to Red Tarn. With deteriorating weather conditions and winds gusting at about 50mph, the helicopter then had to return to its base, leaving other Team members to climb up the mountain. The first three rescuers made their way up Swirral Edge and could hear shouts and whistles in the mist but were unable to locate the man. They then ascended to the summit of Helvellyn. Unable to locate the man from above, or descend safely to search given the high winds and driving rain, they continued to Striding Edge and descended about 100 metres. Team members then managed to find the man’s footprints in the snow and followed these across the face for about 250 metres until it became unsafe to continue due to the difficult craggy ground and weather conditions. At this point, a further four Team members heard the man shouting again and two rescuers were able to traverse across from Swirral Edge at a different altitude and locate him. He was assisted down a snow gully to Red Tarn and walked off the mountain. The man was stuck on a precarious ledge in dreadful conditions for about four hours in total. The rescue lasted over six hours and involved 11 Team members.

New ways to give, support and donate

For Mountain Rescue call 999

• Dial ‘999’ – ask for CUMBRIA POLICE – then MOUNTAIN RESCUE.

• Provide details of who you are, your group size and their condition, your current location (Grid Reference if possible), and a contact number.

• Keep yourself and your group safe and warm, protected from the weather and wait for the Mountain Rescue team to contact you with further instructions.

• Do not move unless asked to by the Mountain Rescue - mobile signals vary and moving just a small distance may lose a mobile signal.
