Two walkers were rescued after getting lost in the dark when they were chased by a pair of sheep.
The men were found about 200m from where they had set off, after reporting they had been pursued by wild animals.
Patterdale Mountain Rescue Team was called out about 10.30pm on Saturday after the pair rang for help. They had set off for a short walk from the Helvellyn Youth Hostel at Greenside near Glenridding but got lost when night fell.
The pair said they became scared after some ‘wild animals’ chased them.
A team spokesperson said its members quickly found the men and helped them back to the track and then to their youth hostel. They were unhurt, the spokesperson added.
Team leader Mike Blakey said: “It was a bit of bit of a baaaarmy night so the two men weren’t in any danger of suffering from hypothermia, although they were clearly shaken and very grateful for the team’s assistance.
“While driving up the track from Glenridding to the youth hostel about 11pm, we spotted a light from a mobile phone about 30m below us. It didn’t take long for two team members to descend down and help the men back to the Land Rover.
“We were obviously quite concerned when the fellas said they had been chased by wild animals, especially given all the recent reports of wild cats in Cumbria.
“Once we arrived it quickly became apparent that men had been chased by a couple of herdwicks. Clearly this isn’t a common occurrence in the Lakes, and in fact, I don’t think I’ve ever heard of this happening before. But there’s a first for everything.
“The two men, from Bracknell in the South of England, probably didn’t realise that there weren’t street lights everywhere. It’s wise, even if only walking a few hundred metres, to take a torch in the dark.”
The rescue involved three team members for about an hour.

05 August 2015So stupid they should be forced to make an appropriate donation to cover the estimated cost of rescue.

06 August 2015You mean they allow those Herdwicks to run free on the fells? Must be a health and safety issue surely? I hope DEFRA and HSE investigate this incident. I am just glad the poor southerners were not hurt by the vicious creatures.

این مشکلات یا به طور کلی در یخچال ها به وجود می آیند و یا فقط در یک برند وجود دارند.
این مشکلات شامل موارد مختلفی است که در

خرابی المنت حرارتی (گرمکن) باعث میشود توده های یخ و برفک تولید شده ذوب نشود که جهت رفع این عیب ابتدا المنت

هنگامی که یخچال روشن می شود برای شروع چرخه یک سیگنال باید توسط ترموستات به خازن شروع ارسال شود تا کمپرسور را مهار کند .
زمانی که خازن شروع معیوب می شود این چرخه غیر فعال می شود
و در برخی موارد یخچال حتی نمی
