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 ...

Somehow it's May already, and that meant Sunday was our monthly training. The team headed to Shieldaig peninsula for rope rescue training on the crags overlooking the island.We covered building bombproof anchor systems with different amounts of kit available, before progressing into lowering and raising rescue loads. With a recent increase in cragfast folk in our hills, we refreshed using our 'rescue nappy' for safely snatching people off steep terrain. Finishing up with some mountaineering and confidence roping skills, we were treated to a White Tailed Eagle floating above us in the afternoon. Plenty of fun had, lots of good learning, and ample cake consumed back at base.Thanks to @sandy__photo for capturing a moody spring day so beautifully. @scottishmountainrescue #mountainrescue #roperescue #nc500 #shieldaig ...
