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.'

This is a fairly routine #Wasdale MRT call out report but the team lead was Jess who was a Very Good Dog and we couldn't resist the photo.

I tried three times (twice yesterday) to post this through #Ivory and three times it’s eaten my post. So here I am on the website, old school stylee.

This was #Day253 of #365HappyDays : I never cease to be amazed at how many more #stars are visible when the #sky is truly dark.

#Day252 of #365HappyDays : a gentle walk through #Wasdale rather than a #hike up Scafell Pike, but a beautiful view nonetheless.

It’s good to be out, and quiet.

Wast Water lake in Wasdale area of Cumbria.

Very deep water and surrounded by mountains, another of our great places for walking and hiking.
