Torridon Mountain Rescue Team is at Beinn Eighe National Nature Reserve.

23 hours ago

After a busy month of callouts and events, the team headed to the popular Beinn Eighe mountain trail for our June training session—one of the most visited routes on our patch.With the help of a very brave volunteer mock casualty, we practised a range of techniques for safely evacuating an injured person from the hill in a stretcher. The steep terrain, loose quartzite rock, deep heather and frequent gorges make this some of the most challenging and physical work we undertake, where effective communication is essential.The weather—and the midges—provided plenty of motivation to keep moving efficiently down the hill!Torridon Mountain Rescue Team is made up entirely of volunteers who give up their time to help those in need in the Scottish mountains. We rely on public donations to continue providing this vital service.If you'd like to support our work, please consider donating via the link in our bio.#torridonmrt #mountainrescue #scottishmountains #scottishhighlands #nc500@scottishmountainrescue ...

WINTERY CONDITIONS RETURNNo, this isn't Sgurr Ruadh this week, but the mountains in our patch have got snow again this week, along with temperatures that will create icy ground conditions that may require winter kit to travel safely. Feel like temperatures are down to -7c in the wind on the summits. It may be May (see what we did there?), but make sure you're heading out prepared if going up high this week.Image for attention from a previous winter - don't get sharpening those tools just yet!@scottishmountainrescue #ThinkWINTER#torridon #mountainrescue ##winter #nc500 ...

CALLOUT Can you spot the helicopter?On Saturday evening the team were alerted by Police to a long distance walker who had not checked in as planned since the 7th May. With a detailed route card available, and multiple missed check in points that were out of character from the individual, the decision was made to use the remaining evening light to rapidly search the most consequential areas of his route with the assistance of the Coastguard helicopter. Team members were uplifted to the summit of Fuar Tholl to sweep the higher areas of steep terrain, while other members deployed on foot from Achnashellach. Shortly after 1am, the team stood down after the walker was traced safe and well by @dundonnell_mountain_rescue further east.A happy outcome and a lovely evening on the hill, but a reminder that if you have a defined late back plan with friends or family, to make sure you get in touch as planned to avoid unnecessary worry.As ever thank you to R851 from Inverness for some excellent flying and @dundonnell_mountain_rescue for their shared efforts.@scottishmountainrescue #torridon #mountainrescue#munros #nc500 ...
