The team were called to a Mountain Biker who had fallen in the Mount Famine area, above Peep O Day. He had sustained a hip injury and was unable to walk. Our working diagnosis was suspected broken neck of femur. We provided pain relief and packaged the casualty in our vacuum mattress. He was wheeled off the hill on our stretcher and driven to our base in a team Landrover, where he was handed over to an East Midlands Ambulance Service crew for further treatment and transport to hospital.

We are grateful to the local walkers who helped on scene and in transporting bicycles and cycle partner back to safety. Also, to the passing orthopaedic surgeon who was able to provide initial care and a working diagnosis.
