The team received a call for assistance from a lady who had slipped while walking near Pym Chair and Kinder Scout.  She had rolled her ankle and heard it make a “snapping” noise.  It was now very swollen and she was unable to walk on it.

We despatched a fast party to get to her as soon as possible and followed this up with two further parties to carry in the stretcher.  She was given some pain relief and her ankle was splinted, before being stretchered off the hill.
