This weekend was the 4th leg of the UCI world cup. BASP members were in action at Nevis Range to cover this event.
Equipment was provided by Nevis Range and Rescue Medics as well as members own personal equipment. The medical team included many BASP members as well as other folks from the medical world, as per usual we had a large range of injuries from a broken leg to the usual array of scuffs and scrapes.

No major hill evacuation was required and in all I felt the casualty numbers were manageable. One casualty of note was a lady who was a marshal, unfortunately she took a tumble on the hill resulting in a lower leg fracture. She was recovered using a McInnis stretcher and willing helpers with BASP members providing the expertise. The following day several of her friends reported that she was well and will make a full recovery and thanked the medical team for the professional help she received.
