IT'S been a busy summer so far for Patterdale Mountain Rescue (MRT) with the crew responding to 10 separate incidents in the last two weeks. 

Their new rescue boat, dubbed 'Patrick Pete', has also been significantly called upon during recent rescues. 

Patterdale MRT has highlighted some of their recent callouts on social media. 

On August 14, the crew was alerted by Cumbria Police to a woman suffering from abdominal pain on the Ullswater Lake Shore path.

Eight team members ran the rescue, employing the rescue boat to reach the distressed woman.

After evaluating her condition at the scene, she was stretchered to the boat and safely taken back to her residence. 

Earlier, on August 9 at around 10 am, two paddleboarders in Glencoyne Bay required help as overpowering winds blew them out of the bay.

A collective response from the Mountain Rescue, Fire and Rescue Services, NWAS, and the Coastguard was launched.

It was the rescue team's boat that brought the paddleboarders back to shore.

Another emergency callout on August 3 at 6.15pm concerned a female walker on the Ullswater bridleway who was unable to proceed due to an ankle injury.

With help from the new rescue boat, the victim's injury was stabilised at the scene.

Afterwards, her family was transported across the lake to Glenridding.

July 30 also recorded an emergency involving a collapsing gentleman near Mires beck path up to Helvellyn.

After his friend reported the incident, the rescue team was dispatched, with three vehicles and eight members present on-site.

A team doctor examined the man before he was taken via stretcher to an awaiting ambulance, resulting in transport for further attention at Cumberland Hospital.
