Mountain rescue crews have issued a warning after a young adult and a child were rushed to hospital with minor injuries following a fall at a popular beauty spot in Oldham.
Oldham Mountain Rescue Team (OMRT) were called to the Greenfield Waterfall on the ‘Trinnacle Trail’ near Dove Stone Reservoir on Wednesday (April 21) following reports of the incident. 21 members of crew were dispatched to the scene, who were able to establish that the two casualties had slipped and fallen whilst descending Birchen Clough.
Just last week, mountain rescue crews issued a warning over the Trinnacle Trail, describing it as being ‘treacherous’ and challenging. Despite this, the route - which focuses around the Trinnacle, a three-pronged gritstone formation overlooking the Greenfield Valley - remains hugely popular with walkers.
