CAIRNGORM MOUNTAIN RESCUE TEAM

That this House commends the role of the Cairngorm Mountain Rescue team, and its team leader Willie Anderson, for its hard work on the Cairngorms mountain range; notes particularly the selfless actions of volunteers who recently helped, in white-out conditions, to rescue Robert and Cathy Elmer who were trapped on the mountain overnight with zero visibility; and recognises the invaluable contribution made by Mountain Rescue volunteer teams across the nations and thanks those teams for their on-going work.
