A spokesperson for Edale Mountain Rescue Team said: "The lady was very familiar to the team as it was our number one lone super fundraiser, the "Marmalade Lady", from Rowland. She has raised in excess of a staggering £24,000 for the team by selling jam, marmalade and chutney over the years.

"Suffice to say, as with all our casualties, she received our 5 star service.

“After being rescued she said: “I never thought I would need you people. The marmalade will not get done now."

“She is an absolute star and we wish her all the best, and a full, and speedy recovery.”
