The Team was called to assist a family of three that had been descending the fell when one in the party slipped on the saturated ground and went over on her ankle. The casualty reported hearing a crack and was unable to weight bear. The ankle was stabilised with a splint and the casualty was then stretchered down the steep grassy slope towards Hartsop and a Team Land Rover.
She was reunited with her family who took her to hospital for further treatment.
