Teams from Buxton and Edale were called to reports that a 23-year-old woman had collapsed on the lower slopes of Kinder Scout on Thursday afternoon.

The Derbyshire Leicestershire and Rutland Air Ambulance was first on scene and the crew had become increasingly concerned for the young woman welfare who was suffering a severe asthma attack.
