Double call outs for Edale Mountain Rescue

Just after lunch on Monday, May, 29, the group went on a joint call with Buxton Mountain Rescue Team to a walker with a leg injury in the upper reaches of Grindsbrook.

A spokesperson for Edale Mountain Rescue said: “Four of our team members were dispatched directly to the casualty.

"The walker was given pain relief and had the injured leg splinted. They were then placed on a stretcher and carried back down into Edale.”

The second call out happened at just after 5pm.

The spokesperson said: “As team members were back at base sorting out kit from the previous incident, we were called to Padley Gorge by the East Midlands Ambulance Service.

"A walker had sustained a nasty leg injury that the ambulance crew were dealing with. However due to the location they required our assistance in getting the patient back to the road.”
