A woman was taken to hospital with a leg injury after being rescued near a Greater Manchester nature reserve. A team of 18 people from Bolton Mountain Rescue were sent out to help North West Ambulance Service (NWAS) after the 41-year-old was hurt on fields near Borsdane Wood, on the border of Wigan and Bolton.
Rescuers were called out to the scene at 3.10pm on Sunday (April 24), where the woman was given pain relief for her injuries. She was then carried on a stretcher before being transferred to the care of paramedics.
A spokesperson for Bolton Mountain Rescue Team said: "At 3.10pm [yesterday] the team was contacted by NWAS who were requesting our assistance at an incident in Westhoughton, on fields near Borsdane Wood. A quick response was made owing to team members already being at our bases.
