A couple reported themselves stuck on snowy ground that had forced them to go back up hill and make benightment a certainty.
A group of five got lost in the mist. They were located quickly and escorted down the fell. It's unlikely they ever knew where they where.
A 52-year-old woman sustained a leg injury when she slipped on steep grass on the way down from Great Rigg. Her husband came down to raise the alarm, but then went back up the hill before we arrived. The grid reference given didn't make sense, so we had to search for an hour before we found her. She was treated and then carried down to the valley.
A woman was reported as suffering from severe abdominal pains. Her location was given as Lord Crag, but she was found at Great Rigg, 2.5km away. She evacuated by an RAF helicopter.
A couple phoned to say they were lost somewhere in the Great Rigg area. We were just organising a search, and finishing off dealing with the previous casualty, when they were found by people who did know where they where, and how to get down. They led them off. Just as well, because it was getting busy.
A woman with her 10-year-old son was reported as overdue from their walk.
Youth aged 15 years, from Tavistock, Devon, was taken ill, whilst on an exercise on Great Rigg Mann, Grasmere.
A couple reported themselves having difficulty finding their way of what they thought to be Great Rigg. They were given some directions and advice that should have led them in to the Rydal valley. We then lost touch with them, but had a reliable sighting of them in the Brotherswater Inn(!) later that evening. We eventually established that they had found their way off, and were safe.
