Callouts Winter 2005-06
Winter 2005/06 saw a good deal of snow in the Peak District which attracted a large number of visitors to this magnificent scenery. This has been our busiest year on record and the team effected a large number of rescues in varied conditions as can be seen by this selection of photos from Winter 2006.

Dowstone Clough Exercise
On one of the Team's 6 regular winter exercises we simulated a casualty slipping on rocks at Dowstone Edge and falling into the freezing water. With the exercise casualty simulating head and back injuries the team had to conduct the rescue extraction carefully immobilising the casualty. However, due to the freezing water, hypothermia risk meant the team had to work quickly as well as carefully in this difficult location. Only by challenging ourselves in tough exercises can we be sure we are ready to handle any real rescue situation we may come across.
