Buxton Mountain Rescue Team  called to the scene of a collapsed walker in The Goyt Valley.   The cause of the 71 year old male casualty from Rotherham’s collapse was undetermined so after treatment by team members at the scene he was carried to a waiting ambulance for hospital examination.

No update yet available.

At 16.00 that afternoon team members were alerted to a party on Jacobs Ladder which had become totally disorientated in the low cloud and had lost their way.   The party of three and a dog had been aiming for Kinder Reservoir and Hayfield but had descended the wrong valley off the moor.   The party had no map or compass and in the serious weather conditions, team members felt obliged to escort the group to a fixed point at Edale Cross where they were pointed in the right direction sticking to a well made track.

Search dog, Megan, along with three other SARDA dogs were requested to assist Derby and Woodhead MRTs with the search for a missing male in the Carr Vale area.

The missing person, a young man of 21, had not been home for several days. Despite an extensive search of the locality, nothing was found.

Police enquiries are ongoing.

At 14.10 in the same day Buxton and Edale mountain rescue teams returned to the Jacob’s Ladder area of Kinder following the report of a walker having sustained a fractured upper arm in a fall.  It was uncertain what had caused the original fall so team members moved quickly to the location. 

The male casualty was found and treated by rescue team paramedics and carried down to Upper Booth for transfer to an ambulance.
