Scotland - A Timely Reminder

I am just back from a week's hillwalking holiday in Scotland, based in Fort William. The weather wasn't the best and we only managed 3 days in the hills. But at least that was an improvement on the previous week, which apparently had been a complete washout.

Just as I was arriving in Fort William, I happened to see the RAF Lossiemouth Rescue Sea King had landed in the car park that they use to rendezvous with ambulances from Belford Hospital. I pulled into the car park and managed to get a few frames before it took off again. It was a timely reminder that walking and climbing in the hills, especially in winter, is not without some risk.
