INCIDENT 64/2023 AUG. 4th FRI. 16.36 PEN Y GHENT, HORTON IN RIBBLESDALE, NORTH YORKSHIRE – ANIMAL INCIDENT

A would-be Three Peaks walker called for help when her Dobermann dog – normally good for hill-walking – went lame in one leg. Having walked over Whernside and Ingleborough, he would go no further on the West side of Pen y ghent. The owner struggled to carry him and had to abandon the attempt, despite the assistance of other walkers. Two team members drove to the casualty site in CRO 4 (the Honda Pioneer) then experienced some difficulty in persuading ‘Drogo’ to get in. Eventually, owner and dog were taken on board and driven back to their car, parked near Ribblehead.
