INCIDENT 12/2019 – Mar. 23rd. Sat. 12.38hrs – Thornton Force, Ingleton, North Yorkshire – Mountain Rescue

A visitor (m, 61) fell and tumbled four or five metres onto rocks, near Thornton Force, on the Ingleton Waterfalls Trail. He sustained a deep gash to one leg and a scalp wound. First on scene was a YAS paramedic, who assessed the patient and stopped the bleeding, so that CRO members could stretcher him to a team Land Rover, parked above Tom’s Cabin. He was driven to the road-head and transferred to a road ambulance. An air ambulance circled overhead, but was not needed, so didn’t land.
