During recent very high winds in Scotland, five hillwalkers sparked a search and rescue effort after going over their return date and who were surprised at the appearance of the SAR helicopter.

A quote from one of the walkers:

"Describing the weather as "horrendous", he explained of their experience: "There was no problem, the wind blew us back quite a bit so our walking pace was quite slow.

"We camped in shelter.

"We got the stoves on, we were prepared for it, you prepare for the worst."

A good news story for the well prepared
