A WALKER was rescued from Scafell Pike after sustaining multiple injuries, following a 5-10m fall down the mountain.

At 8.50pm on April 16, Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team were called by North West Ambulance Service regarding a walker who has taken a tumble fall of 5-10m and had sustained multiple injuries, including a head injury and deep cuts to his leg.

The team leader made a swift callout and also asked an advance party to get to the scene quickly.

A spokesman for Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team said: "Once on scene a medical assessment was made, and the casualty was treated and given pain relief.

"He was then transferred to the stretcher and carefully taken back to Brackenclose to the waiting land ambulance for the onward journey to hospital.

"We wish the walker a very quick recovery.

"He was incredibly stoic, having sustained his injuries at the bottom of Mickledore gully on the scree, and somehow getting close to the stream crossing before calling for help."
