Day 2 of the search for a missing vulnerable person in Buxton. Towards the end of the day the person was found safe and well and the team was stood down.

The team were called by the Police to assist in the search of a vulnerable missing person in Buxton.

Edale Mountain Rescue Team and Buxton Mountain Rescue Team’s were called to a 13-year old Male who had slipped on the descent of Lose Hill. He sustained a minor injury to his lower leg, receiving pain relief whilst being assessed by an Edale Doctor. He was then stretchered to an awaiting East Midlands Ambulance Service.

The team was tasked to assist Edale Mountain Rescue Team and Glossop Mountain Rescue Team with an ongoing search for a benighted Duke of Edinburgh group. The group were eventually located a few fields away from the intended campsite. All were in good spirits and team members were able to return to work.

Whilst some team members were representing Buxton MRT at this year’s Buxton Carnival, a call came in to assist Edale Mountain Rescue Team with an incident on the southern edges of Kinder Scout.

A young man had aggravated an old knee injury whilst walking on Nether Tor. Due to the location and with the possibility of a long carry off, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency helicopter was requested.

The helicopter kindly transported troops and equipment back to Edale village, before transporting the casualty to hospital.
