The bank holiday weekend proved to be a busy one for the volunteers of Glossop Mountain Rescue Team, with three calls for assistance. 

On Sunday evening (30 April), they were called out to Middle Black Clough, for a 28-year-old woman who had sustained a back injury. 

With the assistance of Woodhead MRT, the team and paramedics from North West Ambulance Service, she was treated at the scene before being flown to Sheffield Northern General Hospital by a S92 Coastguard helicopter. 

Two people who had become benighted following a walk to the B-29 crash site needed rescuing on Saturday night (29 April). 

The walkers were located with the use of phone find technology and, once located by the team, were walked back down the Pennine Way to Snake Summit. 

Earlier on Saturday afternoon, the team assisted a walker with a lower leg injury, who was near to the waterfall at Crooked Clough on Bleaklow.  

He was carried on a team stretcher to Snake Summit, from where he was taken back to his vehicle in Old Glossop.
