I was at Bleaklow Stones mid week last autum on a very pleasant day, I
was passed by a jogger wearing shorts and a tee shirt carrying a water
botle, I am sure he did not have any backpack. He looked like he knew
what he was doing, but a twisted/broken ankle could have been fatal.
I think during the day we saw about 6 people, 3 we passed 3 we saw in
the distance.

But what is life without some risks?


Well, these days, I carry a mobile (turned off - there are limits) for
emergencies ...
