Kinder Mountain Rescue Team were tasked by Derbyshire Police to assist stranded motorists on the Hayfield to Glossop road at Chunal.  A snowplough had become stuck in a snow drift at the top of the hill and had blocked the road.  One vehicle had broken down and the driver needed to be recovered.  Several other vehicles were stuck behind the snowplough and the road was now impassible to all but 4x4 vehicles in both directions.  The weather at the top of the hill was in blizzard conditions, so we were asked to provide welfare support for the drivers waiting for the road to be cleared.
