One of two people jogging from the summit of Skiddaw yesterday afternoon required the help of Keswick Mountain Rescue Team after they tripped and took a heavy fall.
The casualty was unable to continue and called for assistance. Once the team arrived some pain relief was provided and the casualty was stretchered down to the car park.
The couple then made their own way to hospital for further checks.
While the incident on Skiddaw was underway, the team received another call out for a woman who had injured her ankle on the path above Scope Beck near High Snab Farm in the Newlands Valley.
As the Keswick team was low on numbers a request for support was made to Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team. The teams located the woman and after some pain relief and splinting she was stretchered down to High Snab farm for onward transfer to hospital.
