A young lady was walking with a group of friends on a route from Edale around the Southern Edges of Kinder Scout.  As she was walking, she stumbled on a rock, went over on her ankle and heard a “snapping” noise.  She was in pain and was now unable to continue, so they called for our help.

We deployed our vehicles up to Edale Cross and soon had a party with her to assess her injury.  As she was unable to walk, we splinted her ankle and used our Mountain Rescue stretcher to carry her back to our vehicles.  She was brought back to our base to be reassessed before being discharged and taken to hospital for further treatment.

Kinder Mountain Rescue Team is staffed by volunteers who give their time free of charge and is funded entirely by public donations.
