Incident report
Just after 4pm, the team was contacted by Derbyshire Constabulary to an injured walker next to the Monsal Trail just below Monsal Head.
A walker was enjoying an afternoon walk when he slipped and injured his lower leg. When team members arrived on the scene, they administered Entonox as the casualty was encountering a high pain-score. After the pain subsided, the casualty was placed onto a mountain rescue stretcher. The stretcher-carry was made all the more difficult by having to lift the stretcher over a gate and then across the very narrow bridge to the road.
The casualty was further assessed at the road head and opted for a member of their walking party to transfer them to hospital.
