The team was called early evening by the ambulance service to assist a walker who had taken ill on the fell side above Kettlewell. The gentleman was nearing the end of a summer solstice walk with his son, collapsed and was drifting in and out of consciousness. The team arrived promptly & provided casualty care on scene until the ambulance crew arrived. Once stabilised the team stretchered him down to the road side and the waiting ambulance.
