Incident report

The team were called to assist a 74 year old female who had fallen whilst walking with friends in Shacklow Woods (off the A6).

She sustained an ankle injury and after being attended by the team and a paramedic, she was transported by stretcher to a waiting ambulance for onward travel to A&E.

Being a weekday incident and anticipating a limited turnout, we requested assistance from our neighbours Edale Mountain Rescue Team but were pleased to see 14 Buxton Team members make it to the RV.
