A walker (f, 54) slipped and sustained a suspected broken ankle on the path from Water Sinks, just before it joins the path down into ‘the Dry Valley’, leading to Malham Cove. A small team of CRO members walked down from Langscar Gate, administered pain relief, splinted the leg, lifted the walker onto a lightweight Titan stretcher and carried her to a team Land Rover. This took her down to Malham car park where she was transferred to a YAS road ambulance for the journey to hospital.
