The team were called to a male who had jumped from rocks in to shallow water at Buckstone's Jump. He sustained fractures to both ankles. One of these was serious and limb-threatening, so after treatment by the team, he was evacuated to hospital via Coastguard helicopter.
Lightening strikes and a massive midge swarm saw the team exposed to noteworthy danger and considerable discomfort!
