Abstract

An analysis of injuries sustained during fell walking in Cumbria and seen at the West Cumberland Hospital over a 3-year period is presented. There were 90 patients, including 19 multiple injuries and four deaths. This report focuses attention on the seriousness and magnitude of injuries associated with a pastime often thought to be harmless and risk-free.
