On 09/06/23 I was out

climbing and slipped, the protection I placed broke out and I fell 8m, at about 7m I hit a ledge and this broke my heel.

The incident was attended below by these self funded amazing teams, so I am looking to give back something by running the London Marathon 2025

Please if possible give what you can.

Incident 26 of 2023:-

09/06/23, 19.43, Goatswater,

SD265975

It was a warm, clear evening when CUMPOL (Cumbria Police) alerted us to a gentleman who had been climbing the Murray's Route on Dow Crag, and had slipped about 8 mtrs.

Fortunately, he had only hurt his ankle and was able to get himself down and rested near the tarn but was unable to bear weight. As it was a long walk back to the car park and over some very rough terrain, he called for assistance.

Three vehicles were deployed. On arrival the climber was fully assessed and given pain relief, before his leg was splinted. He was indeed very lucky to have not sustained any other injuries, and his battered helmet almost certainly helped with that outcome. He was stretchered the long carry out back to where our land rovers were parked (made easier by the use of the stretcher wheel for most of the way), and then transported to his vehicle at the car park. His friend had agreed to drive the casualty to Furness General for further assessment and treatment.

12 members attended and the incident took 3 hour 25 mins.

Coniston Mountain Rescue Team was founded in 1947 and was the first civilian team of its kind in the UK. Its aim is to provide a life saving search and rescue service to those in need in the remote fells and valleys of their local area.

There are currently over 30 highly trained volunteers on the active list, turning out in all weathers, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and all funded solely by donations.

Coniston Mountain Rescue Team depends on your support and generosity. Thank you for helping them to help others.
