A walker enjoying the Edale valley was reported to have injured an ankle.
As with all midweek call-outs, both Edale Mountain Rescue Team and Buxton teams responded.
The first members to arrive at the rendezvous point in Edale met the walker, who had been kindly assisted to the village by two walkers.
Both teams were stood down, with three Buxton members waiting with the casualty until a East Midlands Ambulance Service arrived.
Two walkers had camped high on the Kinder plateau, but overnight the weather took a turn for the worse with torrential rain and high winds. The pair felt a little out of their comfort zone and rightly phoned for help from Mountain Rescue.
The team willingly responded and met the walkers as they descended via the Grindslow Knoll footpath into Edale.
A walking group had set off to enjoy a day in the Peak District National Park, but as the party were passing through Chee Dale, a member of the group slipped and painfully injured their arm.
The team responded and once the casualty was provided with strong pain relief, they were placed onto the mountain rescue stretcher. The evacuation was a little tricky, carrying the stretcher over boardwalks and a narrow bridge, to the awaiting East Midlands Ambulance Service, at the Millers Dale car park.
