Late this afternoon the team was called out to assist a walker who had fallen and sustained lower leg injury (a broken tibia) not far from Simon's Seat. The team made their way up in team vehicles from Howgill as far as possible and then continued on foot along a rough track for 1.1km to the casualty location. The casualty was assessed by our Remote Rescue Medical Technician and given pain relief before the team assisted with splinting the casualty's leg and placing them onto a stretcher and walking back down the 1.1km track to the waiting vehicles. Once at the vehicle, the casualty was transported down the hill to a waiting party for onward transport to the hospital.
