A woman was rescued from a Yorkshire Dales hillside after injuring herself on a caving trip.
The 21-year-old dislocated her knew near Long Churn Caves at Selside on Sunday.
The Cave Rescue Organisation, whose members had been taking part in a practice exercise with the Humberside Coastguard helicopter at Ribblehead, was alerted about 2.15pm.
A team spokesperson said the would-be caver slipped and injured herself near the stile leading to the upper entrance to the cave system. “Her companion had relocated the joint, but she was unable to weight-bear and was in extreme pain,” the spokesperson said.
“CRO members immobilised the leg and carried her by stretcher, then Land Rover, to a road ambulance waiting in Alum Pot Lane.”
