On arrival, the team assessed the situation and luckily a passerby Doctor had already given mild pain relief and had splinted the injury.
The Team then carried out further assessments and carried out Casualty Care, then the injured walker was stretchered on a mountain rescue Bell a short distance to an awaiting ambulance.
