We were called at 12:00 to a lady who had slipped and injured her ankle while out walking around the lower slopes of Kinder Scout. Three Kinder hill parties were despatched to carry out a rescue. The owners of Upper House kindly gave us access through their property, which significantly improved our response time. On reaching the lady, it was decided that she had most likely broken her ankle, so it was splinted and she was provided with pain relief. We carried the lady back to our vehicles on a Mountain Rescue stretcher. A big thank you to the group of three passing walkers who helped us out by carrying some of our spare gear back to the team vehicles.
