Rescue Volunteer - Badly Injured - Two Wild Campers break Lockdown Rules

[Viktoria]

What news of he rescuer?
Those Rescue teams are for the most part volunteers ,some people hardly deserve rescuing but they are without exception .
I think a hefty donation to the funds for ropes, cradle stretchers etc ought to
be exacted or even extracted! from the idiots in this case ,who need rescuing.
I have not heard exactly what the injuries were that the rescuer sustained.

Any news about the rescuer?
Thanks, I realised that but wondered if mine had been posted at all?

I think I press too lightly or there are new posts which sometimes block new postings.
Viktoria.

Yes you did post it

This short report details how many people were involved in the rescue.

Thank you, that is truly shocking, and what I wonder will happen to the two campers?
Such selfishness in a very difficult time.
I’d like to see them litter picking or something else useful for a whole year ,in hail rain snow blizzards etc,because those conditions do not deter Mountain Rescue Volunteers.
Thanks folks, Viktoria.

They were each fined £200 by Cumbria Police.

Here in Dorset, in our local paper today, 76% of fines for breaking lockdown were issued to people from out of County. It’s not surprising there was a spike in Covid19 here after Christmas.

And that is reduced to £100 if paid within 14 days.

I saw that the rates had gone up a lot in Dorset, even in the more inland rural area where I'm from and I still have rellies.

Did it say how far out of county some had come from? Long distance travel particularly from a much higher infection area is the real danger.
