A group of walkers on a Duke of Edinburgh course had to be rescued after they became trapped at one of the burn crossings in Glen Easan Biorach near Lochranza last Friday September 9.
The Arran Mountain Rescue Team was called out after the group of three adults and six teenagers had become stuck at one of the burn crossings due to the rapidly rising water levels. The team assisted the group across the burn safely by creating a human chain and using a rope for security and, although cold and wet, all were thankfully unharmed.
The team advises walkers to be aware that burn crossings can become impassable extremely quickly.
