Volunteers from Scarborough and Ryedale Mountain Rescue Team were called out at the weekend.
The team were called by North Yorkshire Police to a party of three walking in Wykeham Forest who had called the police for assistance. A female in the group had slipped on one of the paths and sustained an ankle injury.
The local mountain rescue team say:
"Once on scene, after initially assessment and the administration of pain relief, we splinted the ankle and carried the lady to the road side on one of our stretchers where we handed her over to a crew from Yorkshire Ambulance Service for transportation to definitive medical care. We then drove the other two in the group back to their car at Bakers Warren.
We wish the lady a speedy recovery and would like to thank the young lad in the group for ‘shouting’ us into the find site and helping carry kit back out to the road."
Eight team members and two team vehicles deployed for three hours.
