Incident report

Buxton and Edale Joint Team Snatch Squad called to rendezvous at Tipps Car-park, Upper Booth, Edale following the report of a man suffering severe abdominal pain whilst walking on the Pennine Way between Edale and Upper Booth.

Rescue team members were quickly with the casualty as were East Midlands Ambulance Paramedics and the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air-ambulance.  For medical reasons the decision was made to transfer the casualty to hospital by land ambulance so the man, from Bramcote, Nottinghamshire, was carried the short distance to meet the ambulance at Upper Booth Farm.
