Loch Rescue in the news

Following the deaths of four men on Loch Awe recently there is considerable publicity today about the need for a more organised approach to providing support to people who get into trouble in Scotland's many inland waters.  This reminded me again of how fortunate we are to have the Loch Lomond Rescue Boat

After my May 2nd blog I was able to obtain a photo of the fine group of volunteers who are on call should anyone get into difficulties on the loch.  If you visit their website you can read some of the statistics relating to their call outs.  Quite sobering reading, particularly when you see the number of deaths that occur on the loch.  I admire what they do and hope I never need to call on their services.
