The Cobbler
The rescue team was called out on Tuesday evening to assist a walker who had sustained what was suspected to be a broken leg on the Cobbler. The casualty was reached by a doctor already in the area and a winchman paramedic from the Coastguard helicopter. Following assessment, members of the team assisted with moving the individual before they were winched for hospital transfer.
Outcome: Transported to hospital
