As ever, the community spirit was invaluable, with a local farmer assisting with his quad bike, and a colleague from Woodhead MRT arriving to bolster numbers. The casualty was brought to the waiting #Ambulance for treatment and onward progress to hospital. 2/2

Kev 921 is a few km south of #Malham but unfortunately Mel, and her husband John, have had to retire after an arduous slog up Black Hill into our MRT area. An amazing feat regardless, tabbing from Edale over two (almost three) mountains in deep snow and ice. Great work all!
