The team were contacted by Cheshire Search and Rescue asking us to respond to a North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) assistance request. A walker on Kerridge Ridge near Bollington had suffered a knee injury and was unable to continue. The ambulance crew had manage to locate, assess and treat the casualty but required assistance getting them from them from the casualty site on the ridge to their ambulance on the road below.

Several hill parties were deployed with our stretcher and wheel to help transport the casualty down the track to the waiting ambulance for the onward journey to hospital
