Who in their right mind would climb Striding Edge in the snow wearing jeans and trainers? Five adults and a dog that is who! A party of the ill-prepared, rescued by a 15 & 16 year old. Love the exasperation of one rescuer!

This chap was rescued by #MountainRescue which is charitably funded and staffed by volunteers.

Yesterday, both John & Dan finished 108 miles of #WinterSpineChallenger #MRT, know as the Britain's most brutal race. Absolutely amazing achievement, added with the brutal weather condition.
Furthermore, they've raised £1.6k so far for @dfmrt.bsky.social, the local #MountainRescue team (target £2k)!

Starting on 10-Jan, Dan takes on the #WinterSpineChallenger: 108 miles over 2 nights & 3 days in freezing winter conditions. It’s one of the toughest #ultrarace, and he’s raising funds for @dfmrt.bsky.social, the #MountainRescue Team he serves with. If you can chip in, it'd make a real difference!

Why do they show people doing evidence or body searches on TV when they're looking for a person presumed to be alive? #SAR #mountainrescue
