Swirral Edge/ Helvellyn. Accident, 19-03-16

Extract from activation report:

…Now on a not so light note: Yet another accident on Swirral Edge.

  1. From Weatherline http://www.lakedistrictweatherline.co.uk/1
    “The readings for today are estimates. The Fell Top Assessor witnessed a person falling from Swirral Edge, and he was the first person on the scene, so the afternoon became one of calling for and then assisting the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team”
