We were contacted by Glossop Mountain Rescue Team to assist with multiple casualties on Gathering Hill. They had been called to assist a benighted couple with a leg injury, but this had escalated with another group of four people nearby who were unable to continue their walk. We assisted with the deployment of a stretcher but were grateful that HM Coastguard Rescue 936 helicopter was able to assist. Part of the second group were airlifted to Snake Summit, with the initial injured walker being flown to hospital. The others were then walked off the hill to Snake summit.
