As I had thought the purpose of the blog here was to list stories of great outdoors adversity, danger and survival/rescue. So that other people reading of such things could learn from their adversity,from their mistakes made, and from what they did right or wrong to try to survive in the greates extremes outdoors. Now all of a sudden it just seems to have become a list of recently recorded incidents of 'folks falling off mountains.'It is hard to see what any of us can learn otherwise from reading of this family's tragedy here upon Sharp Edge in the Lake District. Other than not walking a 6 year old girl into such a danger zone that is, maybe. This reasons behind this entry here of this accident I do find rather confusing.
