Man stretchered to safety in Glendalough
A male hill-walker, in his 60's and from Westmeath, was out walking with his two daughters in Glendalough earlier today, when he required the services of local mountain rescue teams. The Glen of Imaal Mountain Rescue Team and Dublin & Wicklow Mountain Rescue Team responded to the hill-walker who had suffered a lower leg injury on the Spink Mountain.
The call came at 14:05 (Saturday 20-DEC-08) after the man's daughters and some passer-bys had been assisting home down to safety, but fearing causing further damage to this injury, called Mountain Rescue to help them.
