Coniston Mountain Rescue were called out when a couple out walking on Above Harrowslack, Windermere had a medical incident.

A couple out walking on Saturday, June 1, had just ascended a steep section of the track above Harrowslack on the West side of Windermere, when the gentleman started to feel dizzy and generally unwell and so rang for an Ambulance.

North West Ambulance Service asked for Coniston Mountain Rescue to attend as the party was off the beaten track.

Sending two Land Rovers in the event of a stretcher carry, but the track allowed the ten man Coniston team to drive right to the couple.

There were concerns regarding some underlying health issues but on arrival the gentleman had recovered somewhat.

After carrying out various checks and concluding that he had probably just over-exerted himself and there was no reason for any major concern now.

Coniston gave the couple a lift back to the Ferry to Bowness for them to make their way back to their accommodation and take it easy for the remainder of the day.
