Low cloud, rain, driving wind. Early start, 6.00am, with LSC and dogs. Josh the terrier fell off Red Screes, was discovered barely alive 40 mins later having fallen 650 ft. Thanks Bruce. Walk abandoned. Josh taken to vets in nick of time with broken ribs, punctured lung, internal and external bleeding. And shock. 10 mins later and he would have been gone. He walked out of the vets the next morning! And is now back running up the hills!
