Langdale and Ambleside Mountain Rescue Team (LAMRT) had international assistance on an incident as a callout was received whilst on joint training.

LAMRT hosted 20 members of Norsk Folkehjelp, or the Norwegian People's Aid, on Saturday September 28 for a joint training session on Hypothermia. 

Whilst training, a callout came in to say that a person had been found unwell on Loughrigg - the team mobilised to assist with the help of some of the Norwegian volunteers. 

The person was transferred to hospital to receive treatment after being brough down the hill to an awaiting ambulance. 

Training between the two teams continued in the afternoon with sessions on lower leg injuries and cardiac problems.

LAMRT wrote on social media: "On Saturday we hosted members of Norsk Folkehjelp, at our base, for a joint training session on hypothermia. There were approximately 20 volunteers from all across Norway, specialising in different areas of search and rescue.

"We were privileged to receive a presentation from our in-house specialist, covering signs and symptoms, treatment, and evacuation methods. We had an interesting discussion on different kit systems for both personal and casualty needs.

"This was a fantastic opportunity for LAMRT to exchange ideas and to gain an insight into how other organisations across the world perform search and rescue, as well as making new friends and connections with like-minded people.

"We are extremely grateful to have had this experience and we look forward to visiting our colleagues in Norway in the not too distant future."
