We were called to assist a gentleman who had injured his ankle and was unable to walk. His location from his ‘What 3 Words’ was on the Edge path of Kinder Scout, between Sandy Heys and Kinder Downfall. A fast response party was able to locate and treat the casualty. Unfortunately, weather conditions prevented a helicopter evacuation. With the assistance of Glossop Mountain Rescue Team, we completed a 2 hour stretcher evacuation to Monks Road via Mill Hill, where we handed over to the ambulance service.
