WET ground was blamed for two calls made to Wasdale Mountain Rescue Service at the weekend.
The team was first called by Cumbria police on Saturday at around 6.15pm to help a 64-year-old woman who had tripped and injured her ankle.
She was located around 200 to 300 meters beyond the intake wall on the lower Sty Head path, where she had been carried there piggy-back by a passing paramedic.
Once the mountain rescue team arrived, they found her injured leg was splinted and she was transported by stretcher to a waiting ambulance at Burnthwaite.
While tasked with this call, Cumbria Police alerted teams to two walkers who had reported themselves stuck on steep unstable ground at Great Hell Gate on Great Gable.
They were uninjured and were escorted onto the Great Gable traverse path and down to Burnthwaite via Gavel Neese.
A spokesman for the service said: "Although the weather was fine and dry, it was exceptionally wet underfoot following torrential overnight rain."
