Incident report

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called to rendezvous at White Lodge car-park on the A6 following a report of a woman suffering an ankle injury.  The casualty’s location was in the most remote part of Monsal Dale midway between the A6 and Monsal Head.   Treatment on site was given by team first-aiders before she was carried on a stretcher along the muddy path back to the roadhead.  Owing to the unavailability of an ambulance, the lady was taken to hospital by her family where an x-ray confirmed a fracture.
