Been out walking Gaz?
they did better than two walkers/climbers on helvellyn this week, two people died on seperate occasions in the same week, because of lack of preperation/equipment 
its like setting off on a 300 mile journey and having a 50 mile petrol range left
u realise tax payers money pays to rescue them tw@ts.
They should have to pay a lump some before they go out gallivanting and if they need rescuing they loose that money. if not they get it bak!

no it doesn't. mountain rescue tends to be a charity. and for rescues like this i think they should bill the people they have rescued.
if you go out and fall or have some sort of real emergency fair enough- but if you go out not properly equipped then tough ****, you can pay for the service because it is your own stupid fault.

It really ripps the p1ss out of people who do this sort of thing properly and know what they're doing, I bet they still don't realise just how lucky they were!
This is nuts! I've done this walk/climb from where they started and it took 6 hours in total. The first hour is easy going but then it gets pretty tough and only on very clear days can u actually see once you get past a certain height.
