Chris Lewis is the Patterdale Mountain Rescue volunteer, very badly injured carrying out a recent rescue in the Lake District. He was airlifted to hospital, is in intensive care, and now has life changing injuries. 

I know that many Members enjoy walking, climbing mountains, going out in all weathers, and though it might be of interest for anyone looking to donate to the fund set up for Mr Lewis. Link is below....

    Thanks for that link. Those mountain rescue folk are so brave and their total lack of finger pointing and blaming the two idiots they were called out to rescue is a lesson to everyone in these tough times. Will gladly contribute to that fund. smile

    Thanks for the link, donation made.

    My thoughts go out to him and his family. Those they helped shouldn't have been there 😤, fined £200 each. I hope the contribute a darn site more to the donations page and carry some guilt........ The volunteers say they're not there to judge.

    Northumberland mountain rescue team were out recently, along with rescue helicopter from Prestwick 14 plus hours. Assisting an ambulance to get to a remote farm. LINK  A much happier outcome for the team, not sure about the casualty. Link shows the conditions and the skill of the helicopter pilot in getting down.

    Such selfless volunteers deserve our thanks, not being asked to put themselves at risk as a result of someone else's whim 😤

    Sorry the link in my post above won't work, as I copied and pasted it from another thread, and this forums software doesnt recognise links......

     As of a few minutes ago that fund is approaching £700000. Wonderful to see the way folks will react to such a worthy appeal. smile

    Brilliant but I so wish it wasn't needed 😢. It may help with a lack of financial worry but so many lives will be so different.......
