I layed Nanna on her back to take a photo of her plastron and she managed to get herself the right way up before I had even taken the picture! lol

If you have a couple of things in Maudes cool end she should be able to turn herself the right way up by pushing against something with her feet.

And besides-being on their backs is only really dangerous if they are under the heat lamp, if she is in the cool end she should be fine until you spot her or untill she rights herself. I know it is really scary but she should be able to do it ok, maybe they just need a little practice and the more things she has to climb up-the stronger her muscles and balance will become.

I may be talking rubbish so if I am just ignore me. I have had a tortoise for nearly 4 days so am hardly an expert, just trying to be helpful
