As team members were travelling to Monday evening training, an alert was received from North West Ambulance Service about a walker who had slipped down a river bank and injured her ankle. The location was not accessible to the ambulance crew so an assist was needed.
Team members were quickly on scene and the walker was assessed and given pain relief before splinting the ankle. A short stretcher carry followed to the ambulance before handover and continuing on to base to training. We wish the walker a quick recovery.
Incident started at 18:03 and ended at 21:05 making 3 hrs in total. There were 24 Wasdale team members involved and the incident occured at NY014113. Total rescuer hours: 72
