Injured walker
Later in the afternoon the Team received a second call-out. A walker had slipped and dislocated her shoulder while descending Steel Knotts to St.Peter’s church, Martindale. The casualty was assessed by a Team Doctor, given strong pain relief, placed on a stretcher, lowered down the fell, then transported to Pooley Bridge in a Team vehicle.
NWAS took the casualty to CIC for further treatment.
