Verging on the culpably stupid given the clear advice out there not to do things that might result in MRT incidents.

Appalling, indeed.
I worry that people stupid enough to do that have probably been busy running unnecessary exposure risks right left & centre, so present a higher risk to the MRT.

I try to see the best in people so I'm sticking with dumb rather than dumb AND reckless

I agree, we can't assume anything about the walkers' behaviour in other situations, but there is an element of, "The guidance only applies to other people."

About This Thread

Maintained by Northern Exile
Somewhere you can confidently ask "which is the best chip shop in Keswick?" and expect an intelligent reply.

Lots of experience and good advice available here, from which B & B or YHA to the best fell for Grandma to climb :-)
