Has anyone read this account in the Guardian?
The last rescue of the year, 29/30 December, two walkers
one on a crutch, rescued from Scafell in a 7 hour operation,
absconded without paying a hotel bill, returning two head torches,
gave a false telephone number, who are these scoundrels.
It is a testament to the resilience of the Mountain Rescue teams providing the stamina endurance and capability required to achieve these rescues, often in dark dreadful conditions.
Mountain Rescue teams are commendable anywhere,
a shame that two villains have behaved in this underhand manner, rescue/dine/sleep/dash -how dispiriting this must
have been for a voluntary rescue team and how insulting !
I’m proper cross!
