As the team were preparing to help at the New Mills bonfire, we received a request for assistance from our colleagues in Buxton Mountain Rescue Team. They were dealing with an injured walker who had become separated from his two friends. The location of the two friends wasn’t know at this point and Buxton team had been searching the Edale escape routes without finding them. At this point they decided to expand the search and asked us to cover the Edale Cross track and the escape routes around Roych Clough. Not long after deploying the two friends were located safe and well which meant team members could head back to New Mills, just in time to assist at the bonfire.
