Moffat Mountain Rescue Team stretcher woman from hill

Moffat Mountain Rescue Team had their fifth emergency call-out of the year on Sunday.

As many were already in the area for team training in the Moffat hills, they gave a quick response to a police appeal at 12.54pm for help to assist a woman who hurt her leg while walking near Brattleburn Bothy, north west of the town.

MRT team leader, James Coles, said: “Thirteen team members travelled to the casualty’s location where the walker’s injuries were assessed and managed on the hill, with pain relief administered and a lower limb splint applied.

“The casualty was then packaged into a Casbag and stretcher; then evacuated to the team’s VW Transporter.

“From there they were taken by road to meet the Scottish Ambulance Service to be conveyed onwards to hospital.

“We wish the casualty all the best in their recovery.”
