On the way from Ingleborough to Chapel le dale, a walker (f, 68) tripped on an undulation in the grassy path, hearing a snap and feeling serious pain in her left ankle. Fortunately, a passing caving instructor was a member of a neighbouring rescue team and was able to shelter the patient and make her comfortable before a small CRO team arrived. Having administered some pain relief and splinted the injured leg, team members lifted her into a team vehicle and drove her down to the Hill Inn car park for the brief wait for a YAS ambulance to take her to hospital.
