Team responded to a casualty high on Ben Cruachan last night with multiple fractures following a fall. Team located casualty and packaged and stretched them below the cloud level and winched onboard Coastguard helicopter Rescue 199 just as light was failing.

Very proud of @maxhollo who finished the Jura Fell Race in 4hr13 & just 6 days after winning the all rounders category in the three islands peaks race. (All while I mainly ate ice cream).

Took our growing bump hill walking 😍After 3.5 months without mountains, was wonderful to be back hiking again with @maxhollo. 3 new Munros brings me 1/4 way to bagging them all (72/282). Saved some easy ones for second trimester, today were the Cairnwells from @GlensheeSkiArea

Exactly 5 years ago @maxhollo & I started our mountain habit. Our first hill summits in the Brecon Beacons. Back then I would never imagine we would be living near the mountains, in a mountain rescue team and working towards my mountain leader ticket @Mountain_Scot
