After a massive rescue Search in the Glen Clova and Loch Brandy area, the body of a Royal Marine Commando has been found after going missing in poor weather the day before. Apparently the conditions for the 20 year old Commando proved to be deadly for the well known walk/run around Loch Brandy.
It would seem not being prepared for the poor wet and windy weather once again proved to be tragic. Conditions were reported overnight at 80 mph wind gust speeds and temperatures of -11 C

This is the view of the area. As can be seen, the route is not the most difficult grade for the hill.
