The festival committee and volunteers with their award.
The Arran Mountain Festival committee is holding an evening of true stories of mountaineering and mountain rescue in Corrie next week to raise funds.
The main speaker, Ayrshire- born David ‘Heavy’ Whalley is a holder of the BEM, MBE and the Distinguished Service Award for service to mountain rescue. Although not one to court fame, Heavy has had a remarkable career spent mainly in the mountains of Scotland.
