'' I have attended several courses with WRS all of which I have fully enjoyed and learnt lots. On this occasion I have just put several Torridon Mountain Rescue team members through a Swift Water and Flood Rescue course. His delivery was excellent, clearly backed up from lots of experience, Ben was able to make the course relevant and work with a vast range of experience from the very green to the old hand. We stayed at Earnhill and were made to feel incredibly welcome, the set up is great. Team Members left buzzing. We really appreciate it, thanks, from Torridon Mountain Rescue.''
