| David Power | Apr 20 2021, 9:32am | Her loss really hit me - we all go out on the mountains, thinking we're free as we cross over open ground, just a tiny speck on the ground in the vastness of the hills. It only takes one wrong step, or a change in conditions. It makes you realise. Treasure what we have. RIP Gillian Hayes. |
| Andrew Howard | Apr 20 2021, 9:45am | I was the same yesterday in work David, was distracted all day thinking about her. For me it's the familiarity of the route, hiking it, running it, bringing family up there with me too. It's a beautiful route, but there are parts where the trail runs very close to the cliff edge at the back of the coum, which apparently is where she was found in a deep gully below. A trip or stumble at running speed can be very very dangerous. I spoke to someone in SEMRA last night just before they found her and they sounded exhausted from the search at that stage. At least they found her before night fall and she didn't spend another right out there on her own. RIP Gillian Ryan, and condolences to her family. |
