Incident 26. The team was called at 21:40 to assist South West Ambulance in the recovery of an injured 12 year old walker who had fallen on exposed moorland near North Hessary Tor. The first of our hill parties provided a shelter for the casualty and once the stretcher party arrived our members and Ambulance personnel packaged her in our vacuum mattress and insulated Casualty bag. She was then stretchered to the waiting Ambulance in Princetown, and transferred into it at 23:10. It was a good example of inter-agency cooperation. We wish her a quick recovery.
