For those who do.......

carry a mobile phone on the fells.

In these days when you attempt to speak to a local organization only to be put through to some distant central office I have been somewhat concerned that in the case of an emergency on our local moors it might be difficult to describe an exact location to someone unfamiliar with the terrain. I have visited the Bolton Mountain Rescue Team website for advice and this is what they say:

"In an emergency, always dial 999 or 112 and request Mountain Rescue via the Police, Ambulance or Fire control rooms"

Sorry if I seem to be a bit over the top in regard to safety but being the Elder I have a natural instinct to look after the kids!
