Glen Mary, Tarn Hows track

A woman slipped and injured her ankle while walking with her family on the track from Tarn Hows to Glen Mary on a warm sunny afternoon. The team assessed her, provided pain relief, splinted her leg, and stretchered her to the vehicles. Her parents drove her to Furness General Hospital for further assessment and treatment.

Outcome: casualty stretchered to Land Rovers and driven to hospital by family
