LIVE: Walker suffers 'nasty bang' to head after fall on 'loose stone' near Tipperary

Just days before SEMRA received another call from An Garda Síochána to assist a fallen walker on the north ridge in Coumshingaun.

Coumshingaun North Ridge strikes again!

In almost the same place as an earlier call out on May 8 (see below), another walker slid on the loose stone, suffering a leg injury and a nasty bang to the head.

A call came from An Garda Síochána at 14:44 on May 10.

South Eastern Mountain Rescue team members made their way to the injured walkers location and provided first aid, splinting the injured leg.

Rescue 117 was requested and they were able to winch the casualty on board with SEMRA members operating the hi-line.

Stand down issued at 18:34, all team members safely off the hill.

SEMRA said: "We wish the casualty a speedy recovery."

On May 8, SEMRA received a call from An Garda Síochána at 14:10 to assist a fallen walker on the north ridge in Coumshingaun.

This section of the Coumshingaun loop has become a frequent location for call outs in recent times due to the erosion of the track and the loose stones underfoot.

Even in good hiking boots it is very easy to lose your footing when descending the ridge.

While SEMRA members were responding and making their way to the injured walkers location, a retired team member came across the injured party and offered his assistance.

Coast Guard helicopter Rescue 117 was requested and they were able to winch the injured walker with SEMRA members operating the hi-line.

Everyone safely off the hill by 16:23.
