INCIDENT 85/2019 – Oct. 5th. Sat. 17.11hrs – Craven Way, Whernside, North Yorkshire – Mountain Rescue

A walker (f, 60) sustained an ankle injury on the descent from Whernside to the Craven Way green lane and there was concern that she might do more damage if she continued walking. Team members met at Ribblehead and most drove up to the Force Gill aqueduct in two CRO vehicles.  The injured person had taken some pain-relief, borrowed walking poles from one of her companions and continued walking, carefully.  The first team members to arrive assisted her to one of the team vehicles and she was driven to the Station Inn at Ribblehead, to wait for the rest of her group.
