There have been two sad accidental deaths in the mountains over
the past few days - a man died after falling approximately 80
feet on Skye and a woman was killed after a slip on Scafell.
The BBC
reports that Neil Wylie, 34 from Carnoustie who was the manager of
the Glenbrittle Youth Hostel on Skye died after falling approximately
80 feet while climbing on Sgurr a Mhadaidh and suffering serious head
injuries.
The second accident took place on Scafell where the Sunday
Mirror reports that a 49-year-old woman deom Birmingham was
killed when she fell approximately 200 feet in the Lords Rake area of
Scafell. The paper says that her companion dislocated his shoulder
trying to reach her.
Our sympathies to the victims' friends and relatives. Be careful
out there.
