At 1.30pm on Sunday, June 4, the Edale Mountain Rescue Team (EMRT) were called to reports of a collapsed walker on the track above Bretton Clough.
An EMRT spokesperson said: “Coincidentally, a large proportion of team members happened to be relatively nearby carrying out a final assessment on two of our trainees, and so were able to respond directly – alongside an advanced paramedic and the Derbyshire, Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance.
