The mind absolutely boggles. Ignoring the disrespect shown to the rescuers and the hotel, one of them set out, in December/January, to Scafell Pike, on a crutch!

I'm visualising Withnail and I.

No one knows how banal or how extreme the circumstances were that caused these two to do something that was obviously life-threatening.

Old men clutch their beer and complain about prices, while the young take on the world in ways that "boggle the mind"

Should the two just sit in their rooms with TV and Pills, like a "good adult should" ? Oh throw in some "surveillance video" to prove the guilt.. Guilty! to the poor house with them! shame their names in the paper...

If they died doing it then it is on them, they did it. This was more than a night out in some way we do not know.


It’s not “on them” when they purposely call mountain rescue who then have to come out and risk their lives to get two dipshits off a hill they decided to climb on a crutch.
