Incident report

The team, along with Edale Mountain Rescue Team, was called out on Wednesday afternoon to a joint incident on Mam Tor.

The female casualty had been walking on Mam Tor with her husband when she fell and sustained an ankle injury. The casualty was assessed and given pain relief before her leg was splinted and she was placed on a mountain rescue stretcher.

The stretcher was initially sledged down the grassy slope, and then carried to the road head where the casualty was handed over to East Midlands Ambulance Service for onward transport to hospital.
