Whilst busy with the previous incident, the Team received a second call for assistance, this time from Lancashire Police, to assist with a walker (F, 64) suffering a medical problem on the hill near to Gaping Gill. A small team was despatched in our off- road ATV CRO4, and because of the current very dry conditions were able to quickly reach the walker. Other members were placed on stand by at our base, to respond should more personnel be needed. The walker was quickly located and assessed on scene. She was transported back to our base in CRO4 where she was subsequently assessed by Yorkshire Ambulance Service paramedics before being taken to hospital for further investigations. We wish her a speedy recovery. A busy afternoon all round!
