Injured mountain rescuer Chris Lewis moves to spinal unit Chris Lewis Seriously injured mountain rescue volunteer Chris Lewis has been moved to a specialist spinal rehabilitation hospital as he continues his long recovery from life-changing injuries. The 60-year-old fell 150 metres while making his way to assist a camper on Red Screes above Kirkstone Pass on February 6. The Patterdale mountain rescue team volunteer has spent much of the time since in intensive care while a fundraising campaign on his behalf has now topped the £1million mark. Mr Lewis is still not well enough to receive visitors but team member Mike Blakey revealed his stricken colleague had been transferred from Preston Hospital to Southport Hospital, north west England’s regional specialist spinal rehabilitation centre.
