Tom suggested this additional training day as he wanted show Team members the Beinn Damh gorge where he takes groups gorge scrambling with Torridon Activities. Kitted out with wetsuits, helmets and buoyancy aids we set off from the Torridon Inn. On the way Tom pointed out the rocks at the bridge in the hotel grounds which he uses to gauge the water level in the gorge. This was fairly high on account of the heavy rain the previous day. We made our way up the gorge and took note of the escape routes and tried to identify places where we could evacuate a casualty in the event of an accident. We went as far as the large waterfall then returned to the Torridon Inn for coffee and scones.

In the afternoon we went to a small crag near Shieldaig, set up some ropes and practiced lowering and hauling using the Petzl I’D and Rescucender.

Thanks to Tom and Jim for organising the day’s activities.
