Just before 6 am, Central Scotland Police contacted the Team leader to follow up a request from the Ambulance Service. They were dealing with an incident that needed additional support. A party of eight teenagers were stuck on the eastern slopes of Conic Hill when one of their number fell and 'broke an ankle' meanwhile another became unwell. SAS had dispatched the helimed to the scene and were dealing with the two casualties and eventually taking them off to the Southern General Hospital. Our tasking was to escort them off. Whilst we were enroute, the teenagers decided to carry on with their intended plan and the Team was stood-down.
