The Cave Rescue Organisation was called at 6.36pm on Saturday to reports that a female walker had collapsed on Pen-y-ghent. A spokesperson for the Cave Rescue Organisation said: “As team members were wringing out wet socks from the previous incident on Whernside, we received a call that a female Three Peaks walker collapsed near ‘the fingerpost’ at the corner leading on to ‘the miners’ track’ to the summit of Pen-y-ghent. “Team members, most of whom had just returned from the previous incident, were taken to the top of Horton Scar Lane by Land Rover, then walked up the hill. “The team’s casualty carers were sufficiently concerned at the condition of the casualty that a Coastguard helicopter was requested and authorised by North Yorkshire Police but conditions were too bad for the aircraft even to take off from its base. “The casualty was then stretchered down to a team Land Rover which then met the Yorkshire Ambulance Service ambulance in Horton-in-Ribblesdale.”
