Wasdale mountain rescue team is seeking assistance from two hikers they rescued from Scafell Pike on December 29-30, 2025. The team is asking the hikers to settle a £130 hotel bill at the Wasdale Head Inn, where they received a discounted room and food after the rescue. The team also wants the hikers to return two head torches lent to them during the rescue and collect a hospital crutch left behind. The hikers claimed their money was in a tent on the fell, but have not paid the bill or contacted the team. The rescue team has since received donations exceeding the bill amount, which will now go towards operational costs.
