Incident report

Buxton Mountain Rescue Team called together with colleagues from Edale M.R.T. to attend a 56 year old male visiting the area from Manchester.

The man complained of serious cheat pains whilst ascending towards Lord’s Seat and a heart condition was suspected.  Team members and a paramedic climbed quickly to the incident site to stabilise the casualty whilst the Warwickshire & Northampton Air-ambulance used a window in the weather to land near-by.

Following transfer to the aircraft he was flown to a Sheffield hospital for further investigation.
