... killed? Why not post the story of the mother killed and her husband and child injured after falling off Striding Edge? After all, chances are that they drove to the Lake District and to the start of their walk. Therfore, by your standards, it's trasnport-related, and just the sort of sick thing you'd gloat about.

... A74 was an enjoyable one especially as I have a penchant for that kind of scenery - my happiest days being spent in bivvies on the side of various Welsh and Lake District mountains. Nowadays?

... FSR it reminds me of one of those films from the 80s where the unruly teens launched their camp advisor onto the lake on his camp bed. ;-) We did something like that, waaay back when I was in the Scouts.
