A woman collapsed while descending Nab Scar.
Man, 24 years. Slipped while descending Nab Scar. Sprained right ankle. Brought down by Team and attended by the local Doctor. Taken to his lodgings by Landrover.
Flashing lights were reported from the Nab Scar area. While trying to spot the lights and identify if there was a problem, team members came across a group who admitted to having just come of the hill, having had a late start and a long day, and who had come that way with one torch between them. No other lights were spotted, so we went home.
