A rescue team leader said a couple who spent the night on a Highland mountain probably owe their lives to their plastic bivvy bag. The walkers were found close to the 1,244m (4,081ft) summit of Cairn Gorm on Monday after a search in conditions described as ‘Arctic’ by rescuers

A good read for anyone heading to the hills at any time of the year.

Hypothermia occurs when the core temperature of the body falls below 35°C. Be aware of the signs, symptoms and treatment when hiking in the mountains.

To all our customers and people who have supported us over the years. As all my time is completely taken up with running the cheese business, Tim McSweeny will as from now actively take over the admin of this page. You'll be able to look forward to some interesting info and great pics 😊

Just making all climbers in Ireland aware of the ridiculous rules of Stobart Air.
I have travelled many times to Glasgow with them to go mountaineering in Scotland. Each time I brought my ice axes with me.
Today we found out that they will not let them on the fly get as the hold is accessible from the cabin and they could be used as weapons.
These are my safety equipment and the tools that are especially customised for me.
We tried everything, Aerlingus staff where very helpful in trying to make them see sense, but to no avail.
According the people at the x Ray they were not on the prohibited list till 3 weeks ago, which incidentally is after I booked.
That means, no Irish climber will be able to fly to Scotland with their own axes!! 😡
