Episode 4

On Croagh Patrick in Co Mayo, the Mayo Mountain Rescue Team gears up for the annual religious pilgrimage, where up to 30,000 people set out to reach the summit of the mountain. More than 120 volunteers from other rescue teams, the Order of Malta, Civil Defence and Irish Air Corps assist the many injured pilgrims as they fall, have heart attacks and break ankles. On the Kinder Plateau, the Buxton and Kinder Mountain Rescue teams are called to an injured walker, while in the Lake District, three mountain rescue teams attend an injured ice climber with spinal and head injuries.
