As the members involved in incident no 26 were descending, they were asked to help two more walkers to assist a companion who had also aggravated existing knee and ankle injuries. They were assisted down to the Honda Pioneer, which returned them to the road head.
In shuttling injured walkers along Philpin Lane, Chapel le dale, team members came across an incapacitated Three Peaks walker who was said to have ‘a severed toe’. This turned out to be ‘spectacular’ blisters. He was driven to the main road, so he could take a taxi back to his start point.
