Patterdale Mountian Rescue continued the trend of mountain rescue teams being busy over the weekend.

The mountain rescue teams in Cumbria have had a busy weekend as walkers struggled with the snowy conditions up on the fell tops.

On Sunday, March 3, Patterdale Mountian Rescue responded to two separate calls for help.

In the morning the team were called out to Deepdale for three people who found themselves lost in the snowy conditions with poor visibility.

The call used a team of ten volunteer members who went to find them and get them to safety.

When the team returned to base they were called out to another group lost on Place Fell due to poor visibility, six team members went to find the group and got them off the fell to safety.

The mountain rescue teams in the county are all volunteers and rely on donations to keep going.
