Mountain rescuers were called to help a 55-year-old woman after she fell and broke her ankle walking in Nidderdale.

Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue was summoned by Yorkshire Ambulance Service to assist with the callout near Middlesmoor on Saturday.

The popular walking spot, between Pateley Bridge and Masham, is known for its hilly terrain.

Luckily for the woman, a farmer came to her aid whilst the rescuers were on route. The farmer transported the woman using a quad bike to their farm where an ambulance was waiting.

In the incident log, the fell rescue association reported:

"One team member was local to the scene and assisted, the rest of the team were stood down on route.
"Many thanks to Swaledale Mountain Rescue Team who were asked to assist due to a low number of team members available."


The incident log says the callout took around 2 hours and 20 minutes.
