Driving home from work on 12/06/2023 the weather was torrential rain plus thunder and lightning, about 10mins into my journey a landslide happened just in front of me, it was like a very fast moving river of mud and rock coming off the hills straight across the road I immediately done a three point turn to go back the way I had just came, only too come up against another landlslide this time it was trees mud and rocks which was impassable, I was already on my mobile to the police to report the first landslide they stayed on the phone to me the whole time I was waiting on assitance, I was assisted by the police, plus a local lad and lastly the Glencoe mountain rescue team, in total I was stuck between the two landslides approx 1hour 30mins .
