Another sad tale of otherwise intelligent people behaving like muppets:

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2-2055509,00.html

In case the story disappears before you get to see it, two families, including three children between two and five years old, set out up the Miners track on Snowdon at 1.00pm on a February afternoon. At 6.30pm they phone 999 from the summit where high winds have bought the wind-chill down to -19 degrees C.

One of the party was wearing trainers, and they had no map, compass or torch with them.

Do we have any other Muppet stories (with happy endings) to share?

I read about this in the paper this morning, I had a sneaky suspicion someone would beat me to it on here!!

It really is ridiculous the way people treat the mountains with what could almost be described as disrespect.

I guess it's just fortunate that the winchman of the helicopter saw the camera flash on the side of the mountain.
