A group under the influence of cannabis had to be rescued from England’s highest mountain after becoming “incapable of walking”, police say.

The four climbers sparked a mountain rescue operation after getting stuck on Scafell Pike in Cumbria’s Lake District yesterday afternoon.

Cumbria Police said “words fail us” after mountain rescue and air ambulance crews were dispatched to the 978 metre (3,209 ft) muntain

You've never done a days graft in your life m8. Are always telling all and sundry about the latest gadgets you're getting off your jsa or whatever it is, these pot smokers might be full tax payers.

Brass neck. Imo.
 
Doubt you'd find many mountain rescue volunteers who would want these lightweights to be billed for it, even if they might roll their eyes and call them arseholes under their breath, because it runs counter to the entire principle of what they do. A significant proportion of people they take off mountains need the MRTs because they've done something stupid and avoidable...don't have a map and have no navigation skills so come off a top the wrong way, dressed ridiculously for the conditions, not bothered to check a weather forecast, have tried to do something way out of their competence level...charge this lot, no reason not to charge them, and then people won't call out the MRTs and more people will die.

And alcohol does not cover the NHS because it's not hypothecated. Might equally say it pays for Trident. In a finite resource NHS (and police, and fire brigade) that is hard stretched, a huge amount is spent on twats who have put themselves in that position, and I'd bet you the tax contributions of many of them as individuals wouldn't go near the expense of their care.

Not too long ago a group of young lads had to be rescued on Helvellyn, wearing only T- shirts, shorts and flip flops all they'd taken up was few slabs. IIRC they were from Newcastle. :)

Exactly. While anyone can have an accident on the mountains, no matter how experienced or well equipped, an awful lot of MRT time is spent getting people down who can't navigate, are totally ill equipped, haven't got a clue what they're doing or are just plain stupid. That comes with the role and I agree that most in the MRTs would not want to start billing for rescues - that opens a whole new can of worms.

This. Bang them up and don't release them until they've paid for it. Mountain rescue teams rely on charity for funding and do a dangerous job in often awful conditions. To get dragged out for this is beyond bullshit.
 
Should be hung, drawn and quartered imo.

No excuse for voluntarily snorting lines of cannabis and needing to be rescued. They probably have tattoos as well the vermin.
 
Who knows what was happening on that stuff. A second feels like a month. They probably thought they'd been there a decade. One of them likely cried all the water out their body.

I'd hate to see the state of their Shatner's Bassoon when they're older.
