Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called by East Midlands Ambulance Service when two casualties were reported on steep ground above the quarry workings at Topley Pike Quarry.

The two people, from Oldham, were totally off any recognised route and access to the casualty site was extremely difficult.  On arrival the more serious casualty, a young lady, was discovered to have sustained a head injury and a shoulder injury due to a falling rock.  The second casualty had suffered some minor injuries but was able to walk down with assistance.

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team and Edale M.R.R called to an incident at Hollins Cross above Castleton.

A 50 year old lady had taken a tumble on the path causing an injury to her lower leg. Team members assessed and splinted the injury before carrying the lady on a stretcher down to a waiting ambulance.

Edale and Buxton Mountain Rescue Team members called to assist a gentleman who had fallen from a stile near to Losehill Hall in the Hope Valley.  The incident was not too remote and local team members were rapidly on scene to assess the gentlemen.

Team members responded urgently and the casualty was carried by stretcher from the scene to the aircraft landing site as quickly as possible.  Emergency treatment was ongoing as the helicopter took …

Not a team call-out in the traditional sense.

A Buxton team member became aware through personal connections that a man, previously reported missing from another area, may be on Higger Tor, near Hathersage.

The police were informed and a Buxton Deputy Team Leader contacted Edale Mountain Rescue Team, within whose area Higger Tor is situated, so preparations for a search could be started.  In the meantime the Buxton member made his own way to Higger Tor and safely located the man.   After being escorted from the hillside the man was assessed by an Edale MRT doctor before he was taken to hospital by family members.
