A youth group were walking up mickleden edge when one of the party, a 12 yr old girl, fell whilst running to the assistance of another member of the party who she thought was in distress, injuring her knee. The group tried to carry her off, but were unable to do so, and called for assistance. The team arrived quickly having been about to deploy on an exercise, and stretchered her off to the land ambulance. Air ambulance arrived on scene but were stood down due to the nature of the injury and the simplicity of the carry off.
