Tuesday evening training this week continued to sharpen the team ‘pencil’ in readiness for rope rescues during the busy summer months. We elected to train on Callow Bank rather than Mam Tor in order to do our little bit in reducing numbers up there. Our thanks to the farmer for access permission. A great evening training, lovely sunset 🌞🕶️ and enough breeze to keep the midges off Our thanks to everyone in the Team that facilitated the training and to the four pretend casualties for ‘hanging around’ for us ⛑️👍.

Weekend Round Up Incident 53 - Sunday 11th May 2025 17:21hrs. A call from our colleagues at Buxton Mountain Rescue Team to assist them in the Millersdale area. A gentleman out walking with friends and family had slipped and had taken a tumble, finally landing in the river Wye. As Edale team members arrived at the casualty site, the gentleman was about to be walked back so rather than stretcher carrying, we helped deal with the Gentlemans family and friends to make sure that they were safe for the tricky walk back onto the Monsal Track. Incident 54 - Sunday 11th May 2025 22:17hrs A request from the duty controller to a SOS message from the Apple SOS Centre. A party of five had requested assistance via the Apple SOS app to help them, and information put them up the Derwent valley near to the West End track travelling on the road. As we were requesting more information, a further update came through from Derbyshire Constabulary that they had an officer in the area who was going to investigate. The five walkers were located by the police officer and we were requested to stand down. Our aspirant training programme continues apace and all four of the current intake were at Yarncliffe Quarry on Sunday morning on a technical rescue training session. Also on Sunday two of the team doctors delivered training as part of the BMC Mountain Medicine Weekend in Hathersage. (fb)
