A walker (f, 58) slipped on the limestone pavement at the top of Malham Cove, sustaining ankle and lower leg injuries.

NYP called CRO, whose team members assessed the injuries, administered mild pain relief and splinted the injured leg before helping the patient into a casualty bag on a Titan stretcher. Stretcher and patient were wheeled and carried across to the Eastern side of the Watlowes (‘Dry Valley’) and to a waiting team vehicle. This took her to the family car for the journey to hospital. .
