Following further heavy snow fall, the Team was paged by the police and asked to transport our (now regular!) man from Dent to attend the Westmorland General Hospital in Kendal for dialysis. No problem – happy to help!

The Team was requested to assist in moving an elderly lady who was feeling ill. Two team members attended the property in Grange-over-Sands where they met an ambulance crew on scene. Between them the lady was transferred into a team Land Rover and then taken down a steep ungritted hill to the waiting ambulance for onward transport to hospital.

A local reporter from BBC Radio Cumbria recorded the incident and it went out on local radio about an hour later.
