We were contacted by the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation Duty Controller to assist East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) with an injured walker on the western edge of Kinder Scout.
Four hill parties were despatched to assist the walker and his family and friends. He had suffered a suspected fractured ankle from a simple slip. We managed his pain, splinted his ankle and stretchered him to our waiting vehicles at Edale Cross. He was then carefully driven down to Hayfield and handed over to the EMAS ambulance crew.
We wish him, his family and friends well. It was our pleasure to assist.
