Incident report

Seventeen members of the Edale and Buxton Mountain Rescue Teams’ Snatch Squad were called following reports of a walker with leg injuries near Dale Head bunkhouseDalehead 2 July 2014 at the west end of the Edale Valley.

The casualty was part of a group originating from Coventry but staying at a bunkhouse in Nether Booth.  A further update established her position as being higher on to the moor than was first thought and easier access was gained using the Chapel Gate Track.  Team members treated the casualty on site before carrying her down to the road for hand over to the ambulance crew and further assessment at hospital.
