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!

I hope somebody who knows who they are names them without reference to data protection, which might hamper an official body. Unless, of course, they have repented, paid their bill and returned the torches...

Lovely to hear a BBC report yesterday that several thousand pounds has since been donated to that particular mountain rescue team.

One of the team went out on his birthday. The best and worst of humanity in one story.

Opportunity for the Daily Fail to do something good for a change. I look forward to the news stories when this pair are found.
