The team was called to assist a gentleman who had badly damaged his knee high up on the fell side, rendering him unable to walk. The man, spectating at a local fell race, was initially assessed by a GP and mountain rescue team members who were participating in the race - it was deemed that due to the location UWFRA would be best placed to extricate him back to his car for an onward journey to hospital.
