PATERDALE Mountain Rescue Team were called out to two incidents yesterday.
At around 5pm a lady from Bristol slipped on a damp path as she made her way off Sheffield Pike, towards the old mines above Greenside, Glenridding.
She heard a cracking sound and felt a sharp pain. A passing walker carried the lady down to the vehicle track, before two members of Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team attended and transferred the casualty to their base in a Landrover ambulance.
The casualty was then picked up from the base by an ambulance and taken to Carlisle Infirmary.
At around 9pm, Cumbria Police called Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team to search for a missing woman who was travelling from Bowness to Askham near Penrith on horseback.
The missing person turned up safe and well at Haweswater while the team was beginning their search. Penrith Mountain Rescue Team assisted with the search.
