SHARP EDGE in a DANGEROUS STORM a SERIOUS MESSAGE Blencathra LAKE DISTRICT WILD CAMPING UK Tent Test

On Friday the 1st of October a man died whilst attempting Sharp Edge. The actual incident (Number 91) is on the Keswick Mountain Rescue website as well as on their Facebook page and in the news. I have spoken to the Mountain Rescue regarding this incident and agreed that highlighting the risks and dangers with videos like this, especially being an accident hotspot, will contribute positively towards mountain safety. The Mountain Rescue risk their own lives and have actually lost their lives to save the lives of others. Their work is paramount to the safety of people in the mountains and hopefully we will never need their help but you never know.

I feel that explaining the dangers of these places will hopefully make people think carefully and act accordingly to pursue challenges with more planning and care. The mountain rescue constantly are called out to people that are uneducated and under prepared for their mountain adventures and therefore suffer the consequences, sometimes the ultimate consequence. I hope this may help even just a few people make a better decision on their own adventures.
Don’t stop adventuring just be as safe as you can whilst doing it!

All love and condolences to the family and friends of this adventuresome man who was truly living life.
