Torridon Mountain Rescue Team

1 week ago

Torridon MRT provided rescue cover again this year at the Celtman Extreme Scottish Triathlon and the weather was, well, 'interesting'! In fact, the 'high' mountain route had to be closed to competitors but even on the 'low' route the weather was challenging so many congratulations to all of the Celtman competitors for battling through it all. Torridon MRT members were posted all round the mountain section for much of the day in wet and windy conditions. It's at times like this when the team's spirit shines through. One TMRT group rang cowbells for passing competitors from under a tarp and group shelter, another TMRT group had a barbecue complete with fillet steak, sauce Diane, burgers, sausages, black pudding, kebabs, side salad and even a bottle of Prosecco (!!) and another TMRT group managed to forage Chanterelle mushrooms for a tasty meal back home. Now you know why we enjoy supporting the Celtman so much!

Big shout out to team member Ryan Maclean who was supporting Thor Hesselberg (well done on completing the course yet again Thor!). Thanks also to Joanne Forbes (mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/joanneforbes1) and David Fraser (mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/davidfraser1) who chose us to be their charity for the event.

Remember that we've launched our Project Torridon Rescue appeal to raise the funding for our new search and rescue centre - see our video here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSIQGXvZNlc. Text TMRT33£5 to 70070 to donate £5 or visit www.torridonmrt.org.uk to find other ways of supporting us.

Thank you and well done again to all of the Celtman Extreme Scottish Triathlon competitors. See you again next year!!

Torridon Mountain Rescue Team

Every year, Torridon Mountain Rescue Team volunteers provide cover for the competitors taking part in the Celtman Extreme Scottish Triathlon. We love supporting everyone who participates and we are humbled when the competitors themselves offer to support us! Joanne Forbes is the latest competitor to decide to raise sponsorship for us this year. Joanne has chosen to support us after she spotted our urgent Project Torridon Rescue appeal to raise the remaining £50k to build our new £0.25m rescue centre this year in Torridon. Joanne tells us, "I appreciate the support you will provide for the Celtman race. A few weeks ago my boyfriend Craig, who was also due to race Celtman too, had an accident with a chainsaw and badly cut into his chest at our home. He had to be airlifted by the air ambulance to hospital and was very lucky to be alive. This accident brought home to me how important our emergency services are. Craig actually works as a firefighter so he sees this regularly. With this recent event happening, the opportunity to raise money for an important rescue service that you guys provide felt important to me. Craig is recovering well & will be there supporting me during the race". We wish Craig well and we'll be backing Joanne all the way to have a successful and enjoyable race. We would urge you to visit Joanne's page - mydonate.bt.com/fundraisers/joanneforbes1 - and donate as generously as you can. Thank you and all the very best to Joanne for the race!! ...
