Bit of a mystery. Can anybody identify these marks in Stromness Flagstone on #westray Orkney? Devonian age tetrapod tracks? Lightening strikes or shot holes?

In search of CPD for membership renewal for the Association of Mountaineering Instructors (AMI) or British Mountain Guides (BMG)? Have a look at Mountain CRM for #crm and #humanfactors in avalanche terrain. @Brit_Mt_Guides @the_AMI mountain-assurance.teachable.com/p/mountain-crm

I remember SAIS stopped reporting in the end of January for a period because there was no snow left in the entire country…… No surprise to hear it was the leanest season. There were still avalanche-related mountain-rescue incidents. We still need to watch out always.


Tributes paid to mountain rescue 'legend' David Whalley. Seems fitting to share this via Twitter where he frequently commented on many people’s adventures. RIP Heavy. bbc.com/news/articles/…

Well played by @SAS 😂

We get it, @SkyNews and The Guardian - same initials, both wear uniforms, operate internationally, and move fast. But only one SAS was affected by the Heathrow power outage. Spoiler: it was the one with the free coffee onboard, not the one with parachutes.

Oh joy, the sun is finally out on Rockall Island! Solar panel output at a whopping 49%, and the batteries are soaking up all that precious power. Only 47 hours left until...well, who knows what'll happen next.

On Friday a small airplane crashed on Mer de Glace accumulation area (Géant Glacier) in the Gros Rognon sector (~3500 m). Two people were slightly injured. Two days later it became a freestyle spot! 🙃🤩🏂 Let's hope it doesn't stay there 🚮 🎥 Gaspard Ravanel / IG
