In a very similar request to the previous callout, we received a call for assistance from an East Midlands Ambulance crew to help them with a man who had collapsed on the canal tow path in Whaley Bridge.  The crew was on scene and had stabilised the gentleman, however they couldn’t get him back to the ambulance over the rough ground.  We assisted them with the carry and with a bit of local knowledge were able to find an easier route back to the ambulance.
