Injured walker
NWAS requested the help of the Team to go to the aid of a walker who had been making her way off the fell when she slipped on the loose stones and heard a cracking noise. The Team met at Dockray and two vehicles made their way onto the fell.
The Team Doctor assessed her – pain relief was provided and the leg splinted before she was stretchered to a Team vehicle then a waiting ambulance.
