    Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

    The recognised signal is 6 x 1 minute blasts or flashes of a torch at 1 min intervals.

    Take it from me MRT's will respond (if requested by the police. Remember the correct way to contact Mountain Rescue is ring 999 ask for Police THEN Mountain Rescue) to any suspected alarm or distress call - many call outs have happened in response to shouts or whistles heard and lights seen.
