The team were called to assist a gentleman with an ankle injury in the Noe Stool area of Kinder. He was one of a party of 5. We were able to locate the casualty party from their flashing lights and from a Sarloc message. After casualty care, including immobilising the ankle in a vacuum splint, we stretchered the casualty to our Landrover waiting at Jacob’s Ladder. Fortunately, the casualty was able to sit up in the vehicle for the drive back to Hayfield. Our second Landrover took the rest of the party down the track to Hayfield. We provided a cup to tea whilst their car was retrieved from Edale and they were able to drive home after a rather long day on Kinder.
