Over three days, Keswick's Mountain Rescue team was called into action on three separate occasions.
Rescuers, along with North West Ambulance Service, aided injured hikers in the Catbells, Seathwaite, and Grange areas.
On April 13, a walker slipped and suffered an ankle injury due to a fall near Catbells.
Met by 24 rescuers, the hiker was treated and then transported to their personal vehicle before seeking further hospital aid.
The following day, on Glaramara, a hiker, amongst a group of six, fell a considerable distance while hiking down Hind Gill.
A spokesperson from Keswick MRT said: " Although potential serious injuries were reported, including a possible punctured lung, the casualty was still moving towards Seathwaite.
"After Keswick deployed a vehicle we received news that the casualty had arrived at Seathwaite and was met by two team members who had travelled direct, quickly followed by an ambulance.
"The man was transported to Carlisle hospital for further treatment."
Lastly, on April 15 at about 2.34pm, a 69-year-old male hiker endured a fall near Hollows Farm campsite in Borrowdale, severely fracturing his hip.
Administered with pain relief, a dozen Keswick team members moved him to an ambulance with a vacuum mattress, all within 1 hour and 46 minutes.
