A mountain rescue team has revealed three callouts that prompted a response since Saturday evening.

Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team received callouts on Saturday evening as well as Sunday evening, lasting into the early hours of this morning.

The team were alerted by Cumbria Police at 6.40pm on Saturday to reports of a missing dog heard barking and whining on Kirk Fell for some time.

A spokesperson for Wasdale MRT said: "We decided to investigate because, as well as a dog possibly in distress, there may have been someone injured nearby."

A limited team made their way to the location and were met by a member of the public who had retrieved their dog which had been missing for days.

Incident number 13 of 2021 involved the full team being called out to Great Gable at 7.21pm

Cumbria Police told the mountain rescue team that two walkers had become stuck whilst descending Great Gable.

A full team callout was initiated in case roped access and egress was needed.

As the team were on their way, they recieved a message to say a walker, who luckily had a mountain leader qualification, had found them and was prepared to wait with them.

Wasdale mountain rescuers later received a message to say that the group would walk along the scree slope they were on, meaning that the mission became simply guiding them to the bottom of Great Gable.

Police again contacted Wasdale at 8.36 on Sunday, prompting them into a mission that lasted until 2.20am this morning.

The mission involved two walkers who had become lost on a Scafell Pike Corridor Route with light fading.

Phonefind placed them at a junction between the Scafell Pike Corridor Route and Greta Gill.

A sub team who were originally on their way to the aforementioned incident on Great Gable, made their way to the location, escorting the walkers back to Wasdale where they took a taxi back to Seathwaite.
