A walker who collapsed due to the intense heat while walking on Kinder had to be airlifted, yesterday (11 July) afternoon.
Volunteers from both Buxton and Edale Mountain Rescue Teams were called out mid-afternoon in difficult and hot conditions to assist the walker who had collapsed near the top of Grindsbrook Clough.
The casualty was assessed, cooled with water, given some glucose gel and placed on the stretcher for a difficult carry up the steep rocky scramble to the helicopter.
The casualty was then loaded on board the helicopter and flown down to Edale and loaded into an awaiting land ambulance from East Midlands Ambulance Service.
The teams would like to thank all the walkers who assisted in caring for the casualty.
They have also issued a warning about the need for caution when heading out during these extremely hot conditions. The Met Office has now issued an ‘Amber Weather Warning’ for heat on Sunday.
