Hi all,
My first, and probably only, post on this forum so please forgive the intrusion.
This is a random request, and before anyone suggests it, I've been on Google trying to find an answer for nearly an hour
In the late 1980's (IIRC) I took a group of three lads on a walk in the Lake, we went up the Esk Valley to Esk Hause (wildcamp, then Scafell Pike next day before returning home). En route we were having lunch on Scar Lathing when a SAR chopper came down the valley and crash landed on a flat bit of land where the Esk bends sharply to the West (GR 225047). I won't go into any great detail but we carried on with our walk as a Chinook had turned up and all appeared well (I later saw this on an episode of 999 - thankfully there were no casualties and only minor injuries).
Your task should you choose to accept it is to find me the date. Find it and I'll donate a tenner to the MRT of your choice.
Happy hunting, and thanks in advance. Tony
