A party of four friends were descending from High Spy via Rigghead quarries where one member of the party, a 25 year old female, went over on her ankle hearing/feeling a ‘snap’. Despite resting for some time and trying multiple times to stand the casualty remained unable to bear weight on her ankle so the group reluctantly called for a rescue. On arrival the team assessed, splinted the ankle and gave some pain relief before stretchering the woman down to Rosthwaite from where took her friends took her to hospital for an x-ray.
