A man was reported overdue from his walk. He turned up as a search was being organised. His returned had been delayed by a migraine.
 

A 73-year-old man suffered an Angina attack. He was only a short distance from the road end, so he was quickly transferred to a county ambulance. They'd only gone short distance when he decided he didn't need any further treatment.
 

A 20-year-old fellrunner fell and sustained serious cuts to his leg. The team was called and set off. Because of the reported serious nature of the injuries a helicopter was requested. This got there before us and airlifted the man to hospital. The team stood down.

That was a pleasant break! And the first rescue we've done in a while wasn't to difficult either. A 14-year-old slipped and sustained a leg injury. It wasn't to tricky a place to get to.<td>
 

Three men were reported overdue from a climbing trip to Bowfell. Their friend reported them overdue at the pub. He found them when he returned to their tent. We had started to assemble at base, but hadn't gone out on the hill yet.

A 47-year-old man was reported as collapsed on the path part way up to Stickle Tarn. Because of the way this incident was reported (badly) there was an ambulance called, and the local 1st responders, having been told that the man as at the Old Dungeon Ghyll Hotel. He wasn't, and when they found out, we were called to assist. His collapse was probably due to having next to nothing to eat prior to going for a walk with his friends. He was carried down to the valley.
 

A 17-year-old woman slipped and sustained a deep gash to the back of her leg. She was treated by her friends and put in a tent. We arrived and transferred her to a stretcher and carried her down. Conditions were atrocious.

A party of three men reported themselves lost and cragfast somewhere on Bowfell. They gave us the impression that their lives were in peril. They insisted that only a helicopter would be able to rescue them ,but we new different. A search ensued and they were located by Search Dog Sky. There were not injured and were assisted to the valley, slowly. It would be fair to say that they were a little out of their depth and the danger was subjective.
 

While the previous incident was being dealt with, we were alerted by RAF Mountain Rescue Team members, who were climbing in Langdale, that a woman had fallen 100ft in the the Raven Crag area. They had gone to her aid. The team responded, along with members of Kendal MRT, and dealt with this incident as well. The woman, had been trying to find a way down for her family, who were walking above, when she fell. She suffered multiple injuries including injuries to her head, neck and spine. She was airlifted to hospital by the Royal Navy.

A woman reported her husband overdue at the campsite in Great Langdale.

A young woman collapsed, reported as diabetic and pregnant. Her partner called us for help, but didn't really know where they where. We were given three different locations, 2km apart. We eventually located them just as it was going dark. The woman was very cold, and unable to move; the man cold, but still able to walk. The woman was treated for her hypothermia and evacuated to the valley on our stretcher. The man was given additional clothing and escorted down as well.

A father and son were reported as missing on a walk from Langdale to Scafell. A search was organised with help from Keswick and Wasdale MRTs and SARDA. After a number of reported sightings by people camping in the area, they were located near Greta Ghyll on the Corridor Route at 6.30am. They were okay, but cold and were evacuated to Wasdale. It turns out that they had got to Scafell by asking directions, but seem to have run out of people to ask for directions back again!

A couple got separated on the approach to Crinkle Crags. The husband went back to look for his wife, but couldn't find her. We were called to search for her, and she was located at Brotherilkeld. SARDA were also called to help out.
