The Mountain Rescue Team

Danny Laird lives in Fort William, a small town in the Highlands of Scotland. It’s near Ben Nevis, Scotland’s highest mountain. At the weekend, he often goes climbing with his older sister or hill walking with his dad.

Danny’s father leads the Fort William mountain rescue team, and next weekend he’s going to take Danny and a group of other young people up into the mountains to learn a few basic survival skills. They must take a sleeping bag, a tent, and warm, waterproof clothing with them.

Working for a mountain rescue team isn’t easy. You should be physically fit and you must do courses in first aid and climbing techniques. You should also know a lot about the mountains. It’s an important job. When hill walkers have an accident, the mountain rescue team is there to save them, and one day, when he’s older, Danny is going to volunteer to work for the team.
