A member of the public reported having seen a lamb stuck down a pothole on Newby Moss and provided a grid reference for the location. A small team of CRO members undertook a quick search of the general area and located the lamb, marooned down Fluted Hole. We descended the hole on ropes and the lamb was soon captured, hauled back to the surface and returned to liberty well away…
A report was received that there was a sheep in Hull Pot. A rapid search revealed only a recently deceased lamb. Volunteer hours: 2
Walkers reported that a lamb was stranded, several metres down the quarry face. As it was on a broad ledge with an ample supply of grass, it was agreed that a small team would visit in the early evening.
A group undertaking navigation training heard a lamb calling from within Cross Pot, near Horton in Ribblesdale. A small team attended the site, and discovered a lamb stuck on a ledge within the pot. The lamb was brought to the surface, and because it was very weak, was returned directly to the farm, rather than released onto the fell. Volunteer hours: 7.5
