Incident report

A joint Edale Buxton snatch squad call to Edale village for a lady reported to be suffering from exhaustion and hypothermia on the southern edges of Kinder Scout.

Team members located the lady in the Hartshorn area. She was very cold and team members spent some time in slowly warming her up, by placing her in a shelter tent and providing high energy foods and drink.

After some time she had recovered enough and was able to walk down to Edale Village with team members via Ringing Roger and the Nab.
