  • A NEAR TRAGIC ACCIDENT - THE HIDDEN VALLEY, GLENCOE, SCOTLAND
    I watched from the other side of the valley a man slip and fall about 150m or so tumbling at speed. He didn’t move for quite some time but gave me a hand signal so I knew he was conscious. I made my way over to him to assist in his potential rescue but luckily, in fact, extremely luckily he could walk off the mountain with just bumps and bruises.
    Please take care out there and reduce risk where possible.
    All love
    Al and Blue

    Many years ago I was walking up that exact slope with the well known mountaineer John Grieve, leader of the Glencoe Rescue, when we came on some squaddies doing self-arrest practice under the orders of an officer. The slope was icy and the out-run was dangerous, and we saw a couple of near accidents as the trainees lost control and slid into the rocks at speed. John explained who he was an requested the officer to find a safer spot, but he refused, very arrogantly, and ordered them to continue. This was literally putting their lives at risk. After another refusal, John whipped out his rope and with my help we trussed up the officer hand and foot. John then ordered the squaddies down the hill - which they did, with considerable glee.
    John took a photo of the officer in this humiliating position, and warned him that if anything happened to the men he'd send it to his commanding officer along with a report detailing his arrogant and irresponsible behaviour. The guy was literally frothing with range and threatening us with all sorts - but he obviously came to his senses because we heard nothing more about it...

    • @BUSHMANandBLUE
      @BUSHMANandBLUE  2 года назад +11

      😂😂😂 Brilliant! What a story but sometimes that arrogance kills! Those squaddies that died from heat exhaustion training in a heat wave a few years back, their officer needed the same treatment.

    • @graceygrumble
      @graceygrumble 2 года назад +3

      Similar thing happened to us, in Wales, but our officer was a good one! He got bollocked for taking the lads down off the mountain, during an exercise. He had only just made ’Captain’, but didn't give a bugger about what HQ wanted, while they were in their heated digs.
      He made a command decision and stuck to it. REspect!

I finally went to Glasgow last October and also went via the West Highland rail line to Fort William and explored some of the natural beauty there, including a walk in the piss rain from Glencoe village to The Three Sisters viewpoint and back. Still jawdropping, despite the grim weather. Also, hats off to you for helping that man.

    You were giving it the beans to reach that climber, that's what its all about. An accident can happen to anyone and knowing there are people going to go the extra mile to give help is very good. The (regular) outdoor mountain community are a great bunch of people. Looks a lovely area and one I must visit. Great to have something really good to watch as I'm going somewhat stir-crazy laid up with a right old cold. Many thanks again for the channel Al.

    Had my own casivac yesterday off Grisedale Pike. Did a wildcamp Saturday night with our lass about half way up. We did Grisedale the next day and the air pressure and wind kicked off her Vertigo/Labyrinthitis (never happened on the hills before. Got us set up in a quick tarp shelter and applied her meds and waited for them to kick in. Very proud of her, hates walking poles and she used mine and step by step she got down. It hasn't put her off but made us think about future locations. ATB and thanks for your efforts Cheers Sel and Tracey (she shouted, put my name on too 🤣)

    One of the all time greats of Scottish climbing Jimmy Marshall recently passed away, well into his nineties. Known as the King of the Ben he's famous for pioneering long and dangerous new winter routes on Nevis, particularly with the brilliant Robin Smith, climbing in the late 50s and early 60s with primitive gear their routes are still held in high esteem by today's hard men. There's film of Jimmy climbing in Glencoe on you tube - "The Edge" well worth watching.
