Thankfully a short incident that was ultimately resolved by the North East Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust’s Hazardous Area Response Team (HART) resources at the scene. We were alerted at 12.51hrs as a walker had suffered an injury at the bottom of a steep slope and the Ambulance Service requested our help.

Resources were quickly mobilised by ourselves and North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Team . Whilst travelling, the HART resources confirmed they were able to get the casualty moving up the slope and our Teams stood down.

The incident involved 11 Team members for 1 hour 4 minutes. A further 13 members were on standby.
