Following our monthly Sunday exercise rescuing an “injured” walker near the top of William Clough we were in the process of returning to base when we were informed of a real injured walker on the western edge path of Kinder Scout.
We responded to assist the young lady who had suffered an ankle injury whilst out walking with a group of friends. Four of our hill parties were despatched via Edale Cross, carrying her back to Edale Cross on our mountain rescue stretcher. Her friends were also safely escorted off the hill and returned to their vehicles at Bowden bridge.
