Cumbria Police called for the help of Consition Mountain Rescue who were able to find the man in the low cloud.
Emergency services, including mountain rescue volunteers, had to be called when a man slipped and dislocated his shoulder at the top of Swirl How. Swirl How is the 2,631ft high pivot of the Coniston Fells, the summit to which all ridges lead, and is much less known than Coniston Old Man.Due to the amount of pain he was in from dislocating his shoulder, pain relief was given before making him more comfortable to home.
"Because he was in so much pain, full analgesia was given and his arm very carefully moved into a bandaged position so that we could transport him. He was then packaged onto our stretcher for what would be a long carry-out, as Swirl How is at the furthest end of our range of hills. "We elected to carry him north, aiming for Wrynose Pass, as an easier and safer carry than back to Levers Water, albeit longer in ground distance. Two Team Members, accompanied by the casualty's wife, made their way back to the vehicles at the Dam. The lady was driven to the Base to get warm and retrieve her car, whilst both land rovers then continued to Wrynose. Fortuitously, the cloud broke up some time later , and the HM Coastguard helicopter, Rescue 199, became available to assist.
"They were able to land right next to us with excellent flying, and we loaded our casualty in. He was then flown to Carlisle, and we continued our night walk down to Wrynose Pass to await transport back to base."
