lost walkers Highlands
Ben More, Sutherland
A couple in their 20s became lost and caught out by deteriorating weather on Ben More in Sutherland after taking a wrong turn from the summit. Eleven members of Assynt Mountain Rescue Team located them at 3,000 feet in poor visibility and walked them to safety over a six-and-a-half hour operation. The walkers were wet, cold and poorly equipped but did not require medical treatment.
Outcome: walked off uninjured after warming up
