An avalanche in the western Highlands has killed two climbers on Buachaille Etive Mor, Glencoe, this afternoon. The avalanche struck just before 5 pm. A major search operation was mounted, which resulted in the recovery of two bodies this evening. Police advise intending climbers to check for avalanche risks before setting out for the hills.
Bad weather is headed our way, meaning that ferry services are likely to be disrupted. It is starting tonight, with our freight ferry (MV Muirneag, shown below) not crossing to Ullapool due to heavy swell. The Muirneag is not a terribly good seaboat.
Oh dear my heart goes out to the families of these two climbers Guido.I hope your winds subside a little and thankyou for sharing the picture very interesting.Have a good day if possible.Thick fog in my part of England as I look out this early Morn .Take care God Bless Kath xx
