A walker fell 20 metres into a gorge at a Lake District beauty spot over the weekend.

Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team members were responding to another call out at Red Tarn, where a woman had slipped and broken her ankle, when they got the call that a man was injured after falling at Aira Force.

Some of the team left the first incident and travelled to Aira Force and the man, who had injured his head, shoulder and back, was being helped by members of the public who had climbed down to him.

Cumbria Fire and Rescue, the North West Ambulance Service and the air ambulance were also there.

A Patterdale spokesman said: “The team’s healthcare professionals were lowered into the gorge and proceeded to assess the casualty providing immediate care and pain relief.

“Due to the nature of the incident and the precarious location members of the fire service who were already kitted out in Swift Water Rescue suits and buoyancy aids also went down to provide safety cover.

“A technical rope system was then set up to haul the casualty up out of the gorge once he had been given treatment, stabilised and placed on the stretcher. The casualty was then carried out of the falls and handed over to the ambulance to be taken to hospital for further treatment.”

The incident took just under three hours and involved 24 team members.

The spokesman added: “Aira Force is a popular place for members of the public and we have been to numerous incidents there this year we would like to remind everyone to take care when near the edges of the waterfalls as they can be slippy.”
