We were called by the PDMRO Duty Controller with a request to assist an injured fell runner on the southern edge path of Kinder Scout between Edale Rocks and Noe Stool. Three hill parties were sent to assist him, stretchering him down to our waiting vehicle at the top of Jacob’s Ladder. We then drove him down to our base in Hayfield.
He was well equipped and able to keep himself warm until we arrived. He’s very thankful that he’s always followed the advice and carried his emergency kit. It came in very useful on a cold and wintery February afternoon.
We hope he is back on his feet and out enjoying the hills soon.
