He sustained a number of injuries, to his head and leg, during the incident on April 16. Wasdale Mountain Rescue Group was called out by the ambulance service.
The team stated: “The group leader made a swift callout and also asked an advance party to get to the scene rapidly. As soon as they were on scene a medical assessment was made, and the casualty was treated and provided with pain relief. He was then transferred to the stretcher and taken back to Brackenclose to the waiting land ambulance for the onward journey to a medical facility.
” We wish the walker a very quick healing. He was extremely stoic, having sustained his injuries at the bottom of Mickledore gully on the scree, and in some way getting near the stream crossing before calling for aid.”
