AN eight year old child was helped to safety earlier today (Monday) after getting stuck at Brimham Rocks, near Pateley Bridge.
A team from the Grassington based Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association (UWFRA) used ropes to safely rescue the youngster who had jumped from one rock to another, and was unable to get back.
A spokesperson for UWFRA said: "The team was called by North Yorkshire Police at 11.30am to assist in rescuing an eight year old from the top of a rock outcrop at Brimham rocks. They had managed to jump the gap to get onto the rock before realising that the jump back would be much harder. A small team deployed and the youngster was assisted to safety accompanied by a team member. "
