Cumbria Police requested CRO’s assistance for two young hillwalkers, in separate parties at different locations but part of the same large group, who were going in and out of consciousness. Initial information was limited but placed both parties on the Deepdale side of Whernside. Team members located the casualties, assessed them, and brought them down off the hill for further assessment by our colleagues at NWAS and YAS. While this was being done a third party from the same group reported another young person with a medical issue near Whernside summit, but was able to walk them down without CRO assistance.
