This evening just after 17:00 our Team Leader Garry Rhodes was contacted directly by NWAS (Manchester) Control, regarding the team’s assistance with an anticipated heavy evening workload.

Discussions also took place regarding contingency plans for the weekend’s expected wintry weather.

15 team members responded to our Ladybridge Hall base, remaining on standby throughout the evening, crewing all four of our Landrover Mountain Rescue ambulances.

At 20:28 one of our vehicles responded to a woman with a leg injury, with a further call at 22:20 to a woman suffering from diabetes.

The team was stood down at circa midnight.
