I know many of you love your times in the hills, and we all know if we get in trouble, there are always a group of volunteers, virtually wherever you walk, to help out if you are in trouble.
A totally unnecessary rescue up on Red Screes, where Patterdale team turned out to help two people camping when one had a suspected heart attack, resulted in a team member falling 150m and sustaining life changing injuries, including to his spine. The campers got a £200 fine, the team member is left disabled for life.
Lake District Mountain Rescue Association have set up a fund to help him with his needs ongoing, it was actually promoted on BBC breakfast yesterday.
If anyone can spare a couple of quid for this cause, the link is attached.
Thank you
