Incident Report #60 1997

Fellwalking

12/08/97, 14:18

Dollywagon Pike, Hellvellyn ridge

Tuesday

This Danish woman, having received the dodgy advice that it was O.K to walk on the high fells in modern sports sandals, then went and slipped and fractured her ankle. Again assisted by Kendal MRT on a long and hot carry down. The advice came from two separate sources, both of whom should have known better. It took two team members to carry down here 'luggage'!

Duration: unknown hours
