A group of 6 friends rent a cottage in the Peak District for a walking holiday. The next day they planned their walks and decided to pair off and aim for different places suited to their levels of fitness.

That night one of the oldest walkers returned to the cottage alone, staggering under the weight of a heavy rucksack.

"Where's Harry?" the other walkers ask, a touch concerned.

Harry's partner, Mick, replied, "I think Harry suffered a heart attack. He just keeled over and died a couple of miles back up the path."

The other walkers were aghast and then one of them asked, "You left Harry lying out there on the hills and carried his rucksack back?"

"It was a tough decision," nodded Mick. "But I thought that nobody would steal Harry."
