As we were fund raising at Go Outdoors in Stockport, we were called to assist a young man who had sustained a suspected fractured ankle. Further to discussions with a member of the party, we knew they were well into the plateau and thus was going to involve a very long evacuation. Their position was confirmed by a SARLOC. A request was made for assistance by the Coastguard and fortunately Rescue 912 was able to come and evacuate the casualty to Sheffield for hospital treatment. We reached the remainder of the party as the aircraft left and escorted them back to the top of Jacobs Ladder where they descended back into Edale.

The team were asked to assist in the search for a missing lady from the Sandy Lane area of Romiley. As we were gathering at Romiley Golf Club and beginning to put together a search plan, news came through that she had been found by a police unit. Our team doctor went with Glossop MRT to assess her, before she was taken back to her home to await an ambulance.

The team were asked initially to assist an ambulance crew reach a lady at a local farm. This job was stood down, then we were straight away tasked to support Derbyshire CC with clearing the main routes in the area. Our team were asked to follow a plough from Chapel to Glossop, assisting any drivers they found. En route they found 2 cars stuck on Marsh Lane, and evacuated 2 drivers back to New Mills. They then proceeded round and followed over to Hayfield. After a quick crew change, the vehicles carried on to the Monks Road / Plough pub area where one of the gritters had got stuck. They waited till it was released and the drivers able to proceed down into Glossop before returning to base.
