We were contacted by the Peak District Mountain Rescue Organisation Duty Controller who had been called by the police following a member of the public’s concern for the welfare of an injured walker. He had been seen to be struggling to walk at the top of Jacob’s Ladder in poor weather conditions. We were requested to send a vehicle to Edale Cross to check the area whilst volunteers from Buxton MRT checked the bottom of the route. As we were deploying we were stood down because the injured walker had been seen to be safely off the hill.
