Keswick Mountain Rescue Team had two callouts on Sunday.
They were called out to Falcon Crag and High Pike.
At around 12.25pm, the team was called out to the path above Falcon Crag between Ashness and Walla Crag. A 50-year-old man tripped and stumbled, injuring his ankle. He was unable to continue and the man called 999 for assistance.
Keswick team members reached the casualty via Ashness Bridge, his ankle was splinted before he was carried on a stretcher back to the road and their own vehicle for onward transport to hospital.
At about 3.55pm, the team was called out to High Pike. A spokesman said: “While descending from High Pike, near the end of an accompanied 10-mile fell walk, a spritely 75-year-old woman slipped on wet muddy ground and twisted her replacement knee and was unable to continue.
“The casualty’s knee was examined by a team doctor and strapped up before helping her onto a stretcher for a smooth sledge ride down the grassy slopes to the team vehicles. The woman was then taken to the group’s vehicle nearby.”
The woman helped by Keswick Mountain Rescue Team said: ” A&E confirm no broken bones, but I’ll be using crutches for a while. I’ve made a large donation to your funds. Thank you so much for your help – you guys are heroes.”
