Walkers hurt while enjoying Peak District sunshine

The team helped carry an injured walker to safety from a track near Wooler Knoll

A mountain rescue team said it dealt with several emergencies as warm weather drew walkers to the Peak District over the bank holiday weekend.

Members of Edale Mountain Rescue Team were called away from a fundraising event on Sunday afternoon to rescue a walker with a lower leg injury on the track between Win Hill and Wooler Knoll.

The casualty was picked up and carried down the track to safety.

The team was then required at two further emergencies involving injured walkers the following day.

The first needed pain relief and a stretcher after getting into trouble in the upper reaches of Grindsbrook at about 12:15 BST.

Then at 17:15, the same team members were asked to assist an ambulance crew in transporting a walker with a "nasty" leg injury back to the road from Padley Gorge.
