The Cairngorm Mountains are legendary for their beauty and brutality. When deep snow sets in, even the most seasoned adventurers rely on the best navigation tools available. That’s why the Northumberland Mountain Rescue Team, led by Mountain Rescue expert and adventurer Will Close-Ash, needed the toughest mountain map for their latest training mission in Scotland’s wildest highlands.
Scotland Maps That Withstand the Harshest Conditions
During the team’s intense training exercise, mobile phone coverage was patchy at best—non-existent at worst. In whiteout conditions, navigating without a clear and durable mountain map could have put the entire team at risk. Traditional paper maps? Not an option in wet, freezing conditions.
SplashMaps’ weatherproof fabric maps proved invaluable. Designed to withstand snow, wind, and rain, they became the team’s go-to navigation tool as they plotted their routes through the Cairngorms’ remote peaks. Unlike digital devices, they didn’t rely on signal or battery life—just solid planning and adventure-ready design.
Mountain Rescue Teams Trust SplashMaps
When every decision counts, Mountain Rescue teams need tools they can depend on. SplashMaps are built for extreme conditions, making them perfect for both emergency responders and everyday adventurers. The Northumberland team used them for route planning, emergency scenarios, and real-time navigation—proving that a reliable mountain map is still an essential piece of kit.
