injured hillwalkers Highlands

Knoydart

Two separate groups of hillwalkers suffered lower leg injuries in Knoydart, a remote Highland peninsula, during Storm Dave over the Easter weekend. One group descended overnight; the second group was airlifted by rescue teams on Sunday morning after weather conditions improved.

Outcome: one group self-evacuated overnight, second group airlifted by helicopter

Support the team who responded. They turn out unpaid, in all weather — every team is a volunteer-run charity.
