Sunset over Ambleside, after a sad outcome to the team callout to Gibson Knott this afternoon. Before we started our descent, we gathered, heads bowed, as a beautiful reading by Alfred Wainwright was made... - β€œThe fleeting hour of life of those who love the hills is quickly spent, but the hills are eternal. Always there will be the lonely ridge, the dancing beck, the silent forest; always there will be the exhilaration of the summits. These are for the seeking, and those who seek and find while there is yet time will be blessed in both mind and body.” - Tomorrow I will set out once again to seek and find. Those words prevail. #RIP #LakeDistrict #LAMRT #mountainrescue #alfredwainwright
