CALL OUT 449: Nettle Pot

The team were called out to Nettle Pot near Castleton on Saturday the 17th of May 2025. A caver reported that one of their party had fallen on route back from a trip to Derbyshire Hall sustaining possible pelvic injuries. 32 DCRO team members worked for around 8 hours to treat and extract the casualty before passing them over to EMAS for onward transport to hospital.

A few days later, the casualty (on crutches) joined team members at our base to help check and repack the equipment used on the rescue. We were pleased to hear that there were no serious injuries and a full recovery was expected.
