In support of our friend Chris we are attempting the Yorkshire 3 Peaks on Monday 7th  June  2021. 

In the early hours of 6 February, Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was called out to assist wild campers on Red Screes above Kirkstone, near Ambleside. One of the campers believed he was suffering from a serious medical condition.While the Team were making their way to the casualty, Chris fell down a steep slope, sustaining life-changing injuries. Chris was given immediate medical attention by fellow team members and airlifted to hospital. After a lengthy period in intensive care, Chris was transferred to The North West Regional Spinal Injuries Centre in Southport, where he has started rehabilitation. Chris is one of 40 volunteers in Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team, drawn from all walks of life and a wide range of ages. The Team typically responds to about 70 incidents a year, usually, but not always, with less tragic consequences. The severity of Chriss injuries can not be over-stated; he will remain wheelchair-bound and need significant support for the rest of his life.
