A Patterdale MRT spokesperson said: “The lady was assessed on scene before being stretchered off the fellside to Beckstones where she was transferred to a team Land Rover and taken to the rescue centre.
“The lady was transferred by land ambulance to hospital for further treatment.”

13 October 2018Silly people taking on too much, outside their capabilities put stress on the wonderful Mountain Rescue crew. Met them in Tyrrell a few years ago. Not rescuing, just having a beer. Jim

15 October 2018Yes the rescue team are wonderful. However you have no idea exactly what medical ailment afflicted this person - anyone can become suddenly unwell - and your comments are patronising and frankly ridiculous Mr Ward.
