Volunteer mountain rescuers went to the aid of a walker hurt by a dog.

Tavistock Dartmoor Search & Rescue Team were called out on Friday (January 3) at 2.45pm by police to assist an injured walker on the moor above Burrator Reservoir.

A dog had collided at speed with the side of her left leg, resulting in pain in her knee that prevented her walking further.

A team spokesman said: “Our initial hill party located the walker at 3.50pm and assessed her condition. At 4.10pm she was loaded in an insulated casualty bag onto a wheeled stretcher and evacuated to Norsworthy Bridge, reaching that location at 4.50pm.”
