Really annoys me. The guy ends up with life changing injuries because 2 idiots can’t abide by lockdown rules. Never mind fining them, they should be made to go and talk to Chris and his family and explain why they think the lockdown doesn’t apply to them. Mad

This is an accident that should not have happened the two campers should not have been there in the first place.
They have been fined £200 whereas Chris Lewis has life-changing injuries and a future of pain.

But that is the grit of Mountain rescuers on each mission they put the own safety on the line. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

some years ago I worked for the royal air force part of my role was cold weather survival .
we used the Brecon beacons mostly .
sometimes we would see people in trainers and jeans and a lightweight coat in sever cold conditions .
as for the two campers in my opinion they was asking for trouble and two hundred pound fine each is nothing and should be fined for putting lives at risk after all we would be for dangerous driving
i know that many volunteers out there put there lives at risk and understand what they are doing but feel that in this case where they travelled many miles and camped in severe conditions when they are under covid rules if ever prosecution should be considered it should be now .
thank you for adding the link i can donate something now
