A Lake District mountain rescue team was called out five time over the weekend.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team’s first callout was at around 11.30am on Saturday and its last rescue was completed at around 8.20pm on Saturday.
The first call saw rescue volunteers attend White Napes at Great Gable on Saturday to help a fell runner.
Cumbria police received a 999 call from a race marshal reporting that a fell runner had sustained a significant shin injury with heavy bleeding during an organised event.
The casualty was also described as feeling faint, prompting an immediate response.
Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team deployed alongside the Coastguard helicopter from Carlisle.
The Coastguard arrived first and deployed a winch paramedic to assess and treat the runner.
After initial treatment, the casualty was able to walk down to meet mountain rescue team members ascending the hill.
The runner was then taken to Wasdale Head, where he was handed over to the race organisers for further care.
As the first incident was concluding, the team was contacted at around 1.20pm by police about a female walker who had become unwell on Scafell Pike.
The team said: “With the Coastguard already operating in the area, they offered assistance.
“Due to low team numbers, Duddon & Furness Mountain Rescue Team was also requested.
“The helicopter attempted to reach the casualty but were unable to get on scene due to low cloud, instead uplifting team personnel as high as conditions allowed.
“Team members reached the casualty, provided treatment, and stretchered her down to a point where the helicopter could safely land.
“She was then flown to hospital for further assessment. With the uplift and evacuation complete, Duddon & Furness was stood down.”
The walker had her dog, Jess, with her and a team member took her home until she could be collected. It resulted in an overnight stay due to the long journey required for the woman’s husband to reach Wasdale.
The third callout on Saturday was at around 9pm to Mickledore.
A male walker had gone over on his ankle, heard a crack, and was unable to weight‑bear despite attempting to self‑rescue.
The team said: “He was accompanied by his young son, and the pair were carrying a significant amount of wild‑camping equipment, making self‑evacuation impossible.
“Due to low team numbers, Duddon & Furness Mountain Rescue Team was requested to assist, and the Coastguard helicopter from Humberside was also tasked.
“However, deteriorating weather prevented R912 from reaching the scene.
“Team members reached the casualty, provided treatment, and packaged him for a stretcher evacuation. He was then carried off the hill to re join his family for onward travel to hospital.”
The callout finished at around 5.35am on Sunday.
At 2.40am on Sunday, volunteers were called by the North West Ambulance Service about a male in the River Esk.
The team said: “The team leader made further enquiries and informed Cumbria police, Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service and ambulance crews already on scene reported that the male was on the opposite bank of the river.
“Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team was requested to support with swift water capabilities, and a full team callout was initiated.
“Cockermouth Mountain Rescue Team was also called to also assist. However, as the team were mobilising, it was confirmed that it was no longer required, and the team were stood down.”
At around 5.05pm on Sunday, the team was called to the lower tourist path on Scafell Pike after a female walker had sustained a knee injury and was unable to continue.
The team said: “Team members reached the casualty, assessed her condition, and determined she was unable to weight‑bear.
“She was stretchered a short distance back to the car park, where she was put into husband’s car. He planned to take her to hospital for further assessment.”
