Hikers stiff hotel on unpaid bill after treacherous 7-hour mountain rescue operation, nonprofit says
AI Summary
Two hikers rescued from Scafell Pike, England's highest mountain, on December 29th allegedly failed to pay their discounted hotel bill at the Wasdale Head Inn after a seven-hour rescue operation. The Wasdale Mountain Rescue Team, a nonprofit that rescued the men, stated the hikers were given a discounted rate of £35 but left without paying, despite agreeing to the cost. The team also alleges the men requested further discounts, free breakfast, and transportation, and failed to return two flashlights. The nonprofit paid the £178 bill and reported that the phone number provided by the hikers was invalid. While the hikers have not repaid the debt, public donations have exceeded the amount owed, which will be used for the team's operational costs.
