Edale and Glossop Mountain Rescue teams joined forces on Sunday (16 January) to look for a young wild camper who was late meeting up with his family after a night out in the hills. 

The search for the well-equipped youngster included search and rescue dogs. Happily, the camper turned up safe and well near Derwent Reservoir. 

On Monday (17 January), Edale MRT assisted the ambulance service with a casualty who had suffered a painful ankle injury while down near the river on the Chatsworth estate. 

Later in the afternoon, both the Edale and Buxton teams were called to the Mam Tor area to help a woman who had injured her ankle. 

A couple on holiday had been walking when the woman slipped down a muddy slope. She was stretchered to an ambulance and taken to hospital for further treatment.

  • The signs they are a changin'

    It was the end of an era at Whitfield Community Centre this week as the old Derbyshire County Council signage was removed to make way for new ones. Whitfield Together, the group that bought the Centre for the community, is refreshing the Centre's image. Its new logo will soon go up on the front of the building. Gerry Dominey told us, "It seemed like a significant moment when we took the sign down. It was as if we were saying that the Centre is ours now and we can put our paw print on it. And that felt good."
