Glossop Mountain Rescue Team came to the aid of an elderly woman who had slipped, broken and dislocated an ankle whilst walking her dog on a muddy track in Tintwistle.
The team was called out on Saturday afternoon at around 12.30pm to help the 73-year-old.
A Glossop MRT spokesperson said that approximately 12 team members swiftly arrived to administer first aid and assist with a short stretcher carry to the woman's daughter's car - from where she was immediately transported to Tameside Hospital to await an operation.
The team was stood down at around 1pm.
GMRT - which receives no direct government funding - is continuing to appeal for donations to help ensure its volunteers can continue to turn out day and night to rescue people in wild and remote places.
