Scafell Pike: Ben's brush with death
Available for over a year
18 year old Ben Longton was lucky to escape with his life, after he became stuck with his two dogs in snow for 19 hours, and here he tells the remarkable story of his escape from a death trap for the unwary. Piers Gill on England's highest mountain is a treacherous ravine, which in the last eight years has taken the lives of four walkers, and seen 40 rescued, some with serious injuries.
