ASSYNT MOUNTAIN RESCUE SHARED IMAGES OF THE CALLOUT ON SOCIAL MEDIA. 13:06, 02 Jun 2025 A Scots mountain rescue team have warned of the importance of being prepared on the hills, after
rescuing a walker with multiple injuries. Assynt Mountain Rescue, which covers Caithness and Sutherland, was called out to Ben Hope, the most northerly Munro, at 5pm on Sunday, June 1. The
casualty had sustained a suspected broken wrist as well as other injuries. The team administered pain relief and splinted the affected arm before a long stretcher recovery down the
mountain's difficult terrain to a waiting ambulance. Article continues below Images shared on social media showed eight volunteers in bright red jackets and helmets evacuating the
casualty on a metal stretcher secured by ropes. The ground appears steep, uneven and rocky as they make their way down. The ambulance can be seen at the bottom of the hill in one shot. JOIN
