Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called to assist East Midlands Ambulance Service with a 64 year old female on the High Peak Trail, near Hurdlow.

The High Peak Trail follows a dis-used railway line. When a key-holder for the gate which keeps out trafffic was located it gave the ambulance direct access to the casualty site.  This saved a kilometre carry-out and the rescue team was stood down before most had arrived.

Twenty eight members of the Buxton and Edale teams operating as a snatch squad were quickly able to respond from fundraising duties to a call out to assist a 40 year old female on Mam Tor.
