Tag: The Beacon

At 11.30hrs today, North of Tyne Mountain Rescue Team and ourselves were called to assist a female walker who had collapsed just below The Beacon on the Simonside Ridge. The Teams along with a NEAS Community Paramedic treated the walker and evacuated her on a stretcher to the Lordenshaws car park, before being taken to the new hospital at Cramlington. We would like to say a big thank you to the passing walker who found the unconscious casualty and called the emergencies services.
