Other team members and the Yorkshire Ambulance Paramedic made their way to the accident site on foot.

The rescue team and the paramedic treated the lady for her injury, she was placed in a casualty bag to warm her up and she was carried up to the Land Rover using a bell stretcher.

She was then transported in the Land Rover down to Aireyholme Farm where she was transferred to the YAS Road Ambulance.

A spokesperson for the Cleveland Mountain Rescue Team said: "We wish her well for a speedy recovery.

"Many thanks to everyone at Aireyholme Farm for providing initial help to the lady, for allowing us access through their farm and for the assistance of the tractor to get our Land Rover up the very wet sheep field. 

"16 Team Members were involved on the hill with the rescue with two others co-ordinating the incident from home. The incident lasted one and a half hours with a further one hour back at base to sort damp and muddy equipment and clean the vehicle and conduct the decontamination processes."
