Rescuers help struggling walkers
RESCUERS helped two Three Peaks walkers who got into difficulties on Saturday.
The pair - a 50-year-old man and a ten-year-old boy - struggled as they tackled Whernside, 15 hours after setting off from Horton-in-Ribblesdale.
Although in contact, health problems caused sufficient concern for a small team from the Clapham-based Cave Rescue Organisation to be dispatched to assist the walkers down to the road, from where they were conveyed back to their accommodation.
