Call from Yorkshire ambulance service to assist with a 55 year old female who had fallen and broken her ankle near Middlesmoor in Nidderdale. She was reported to be 1/2 a mile on a footpath. While the team were on route a farmer assisted the casualty using a quad bike and managed to transport the casualty to the farm where the Ambulance was waiting. One Team member was local to the scene and assisted, the rest of the team were stood down on route. Many thanks to Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team who were asked to assist due to a low number of team members available.
