Whilst team members were busy at our Depot, cleaning and sorting equipment from the previous day’s incidents, a call was received to a walker (F,44) suffering a cardiac event on the steep climb above Gaping Gill. Being on site, the team were able to quickly despatch a full party to the location, and arrived on site simultaneously with the Yorkshire Air Ambulance. Once the casualty had been assessed, team members carried the casualty by stretcher to the waiting helicopter, for immediate transfer to Leeds Infirmary for further treatment.
