A walker sadly died after suffering a serious head injury after falling some distance while out walking with friends on Saturday. 

The group, who were visiting the area for the weekend, were on the footpath above Speedwell Cavern at Castleton, when one slipped and fell some distance. 

A spokesperson for Edale MRT said: “Despite the best efforts of their friends, team members and the ambulance crew, the injuries received were incompatible with life and the walker was unfortunately pronounced deceased at scene.” 

The team have sent their condolences to the family and friends of those involved.
