Shoulder Injury at Glencoyne Wood

Following a report that a female walker had fallen off a cliff and sustained back / shoulder injuries, NWAS called for the Team’s assistance. The couple had been walking a route over Sheffield Pike and Heron Pike and lost the path so found themselves on steep, rocky terrain.

The casualty reported that her foot had given way and that she had fallen 10-15 metres and sustained a nasty laceration to her shoulder. She was given pain relief, and the injury was treated at the scene. The casualty was lowered on a stretcher to the road where she was transferred to a land ambulance.
