Rope rescue after walker falls 60m down hill

A walker was rescued after falling 60m down a hill in the Peak District.

Emergency services and mountain rescue teams (MRTs) were called at about 16:45 GMT on Tuesday after members of the public reported someone falling over the edge of the face of Mam Tor, near Castleton in Derbyshire.

A police officer who was first on the scene climbed down to the casualty who was "relatively uninjured", according to Edale MRT.

A rope rescue operation was set up to lower equipment down to allow the fallen person to be raised to safety.

The casualty was then handed over to paramedics for "further checks and treatment", said Edale MRT.
