Incident report
The team were requested by Derbyshire Constabulary to attend an incident on Kinder Scout on Friday evening. Initial reports were that a walker had collapsed and was unresponsive somewhere on the plateau at the top of Grindsbrook.
Due to the seriousness of the incident Edale Mountain Rescue Team, the Derbyshire Leicestershire & Rutland Air Ambulance and a helicopter from Maritime and Coastguard Agency were also requested.
As team members arrived at the rendezvous point it was confirmed that the two helicopters had arrived on scene and located the casualty party.
The coastguard helicopter then winched the casualty on board, and transported them to hospital.

A message of appreciation and thanks. My son (Joe Keeton) took a solo hike on Kinder Scout this morning and one of your helicopters was in the area around 11am – the team spotted and acknowledged him and kept an eye on him until he was on steady ground. He has just shown me a video he took of your team. Great job and nice touch guys. Thank you.
