Incident report
The second callout saw the team heading back into the Goyt Valley. This time to Goyt Lane, with team members rendezvousing in the car park. The casualty was located on the footpath in the Beet Moor area, above the discussed railway line and tunnel.
East Midland Ambulance Service were already on scene and due to the location of the casualty, requested assistance to extract them to the ambulance.
Two walkers on holiday were enjoying the afternoon sun, when one of the couple slipped on the wet path, which resulted in a very painful ankle injury. Ambulance personal 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.
