The team were alerted by Greater Manchester Police who asked for assistance with the treatment and evacuation of the victim.

Said OMRT leader Rob Tortoiseshell: “We got an accurate location via our mapping system and soon had team members on scene.

“They were able to assess the casualty as having a lower leg injury, as well as being mildly hypothermic, due to sitting on the ground for a while.

"After administering pain relief and packaging him on our stretcher, it was then a short, if not technical, carry down to the waiting ambulance."

He added: “Thanks to the man’s family and friends who kept him warm and guided us to the location.”

OMRT personnel were involved for one hour and 24 minutes.
