Two women had to be rescued after getting stuck on a Lake District fell during the first hour of 2023. The walkers had decided to celebrate the new year at the summit of Green Gable.
But the pair got into trouble when they encountered strong winds blowing persistent rain, sleet, hail and snow. Keswick Mountain Rescue team were called out just 44 minutes into the new year when one of the women fell and broke her ankle, LancsLive reported.
The team were able to approach from Honister then the steep mine track up towards Dubs Hut. Due to the potentially difficult location, rescuers called on the help of the coastguard. Unfortunately, weather conditions meant they had to turn back.
