The team was called out this afternoon to assist a male walker, who was cold and exhausted on Great Whernside, due to very strong winds. A fast team was sent by Land Rover to Hag Dyke, to locate the casualty, they were followed by a second Land Rover, with further team members held in Kettlewell. Fortunately passing walkers had come across the casualty and were assisting them down when our fast team arrived on scene. After a quick check-up, the casualty was put into a warming vest. The party then continued down to Hag Dyke and the team's Land Rover, for transport off the hill.
