The initial information was vague, and although the Team followed up on the clues, it took a quite few minutes to locate the casualty.
Once on scene, the Team got the casualty into shelter, administered analgesia, and then splinted the wrist.
The casualty was then stretchered across the meadow to the caravan site, which was the nearest route to the road.
