Why mountain rescue teams need our support after volunteer badly injured – The Yorkshire Post says
“He’s having conversations about where we are going to go in the wheelchair,” said Mr Lewis’s colleague Mike Blakey who described the mission as the worst that he has ever experienced in his time with the Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team.
And, leaving aside the sheer stupidity of the campers who have each been fined £200, a sum which appears pitifully insignificant, The Yorkshire Post, for one, hopes readers will back the online appeal set up for Mr Lewis and his family. Just like this county’s mountain rescue teams, these volunteers risk their lives to ensure the safety of others and now, more than ever, need walkers to show their support – and, if it’s not too much to ask, some common sense and respect for the current rules.
