Lake District rescue team donations top £38k after unpaid bill
'The Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team received over £38,000 in donations after settling a £130 unpaid hotel bill left by two walkers they rescued from Scafell Pike. The generous contributions, which came from around the world, were a surprise to the team and hotel staff, who expressed gratitude for the public's support. Despite the disappointing incident, both the rescue team and the hotel remain committed to assisting walkers in need.'
