A visitor (m, 77) tripped and fell, sustaining a serious ankle injury. In the broken telephone call he made to YAS, he described being ‘in a field’ and said he could ‘see Gordale Farm to his left’, but gave no further information. Team members were alerted at the same time as a road ambulance was allocated to the incident. The first members arriving at Gordale Bridge learned that the fall had taken place on the path to Gordale Scar, but the casualty had crawled into the adjacent field where he was seen by the farmer and driven to meet the road ambulance. Three members assisted with the transfer and everyone stood down.
