Easter Saturday (16 April) proved to be another busy day for High Peak's heroes of the hills. 

Glossop Mountain Rescue Team were called at midday to help a woman who had sustained a lower leg injury after visiting the B-29 crash site on Bleaklow. 

Setting off from Snake Summit, the team were quickly with the walker, who was located just above Crooked Clough.

Team members treated and applied splint-age to the injured leg and she was then carried by team stretcher back to Snake Summit. The team stood down at 1.55pm. 

Meanwhile, Buxton Mountain Rescue Team were twice called out around the Goyt Valley in the afternoon. 

The first, just before 1pm, was to assist East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) treating a walker who had taken a "nasty tumble" on the steep path at Errwood Dam. 

They had suffered facial injuries, suspected fractured ribs and a lower leg injury. 

The walker was placed onto the team’s stretcher and transferred to the ambulance.

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team were called out to two separate incidents in the Goyt Valley 

Then, just before 5.30pm, the team headed to Goyt Lane to help a walker who had slipped on a wet footpath in the Beet Moor area, above the railway line and tunnel, which resulted in a "very painful" ankle injury. 

Due to the location, EMAS requested assistance to help extract the walker to the ambulance. 

A Buxton MRT spokesperson said: "Ambulance personnel administered pain relief. The casualty’s leg was then splinted, and they were placed onto a stretcher.

"The team transported the stretcher on the steep downhill path to the disused railway line and wheeled the stretcher to the awaiting ambulance one mile away. The casualty was then taken to hospital by the ambulance crew. 

"We would like to send our best wishes to both casualties and hope they have a speedy recovery." 

The borough's mountain rescue teams are made up entirely of volunteers who dedicate their free time to help others and do not receive direct funding. Details of how you can donate can be found on their respective Facebook pages.
