Overview
- A woman in her seventies slipped near the top of Aira Force at 12:38pm on January 6, injuring her hip and becoming unable to walk.
- Rescuers administered pain relief, immobilized her on a vacuum mattress and stretcher, and transported her to the team base before a land ambulance took her to hospital.
- Fourteen team members handled the Aira Force operation, which lasted about three hours.
- About 90 minutes into that response, police alerted the team to a two-vehicle collision on a snowy Kirkstone Pass, and occupants were taken down the pass in Land Rovers.
- One person reporting chest pains was assessed by North West Ambulance Service at the rescue base and cleared to be taken to their hotel, with six team members concluding the two-hour incident.
