Injured Bristol hiker found after being stuck for two nights on Skye hillside during Storm Otto

A doctor from Bristol who went missing in the Inner Hebrides during Storm Otto was found on Saturday (February 18) after spending two nights in storm conditions, authorities have confirmed. Dr John Pike was found to be "immobilised" on an open hillside in Coire Uisge (Loch Coruisk) on the Isle of Skye after suffering a leg injury.

Dr Pike was reported missing at 1pm on Thursday (February 16) after he did not return to his accommodation in Portree, Skye's capital town, then prompting a "multi-force rescue mission".

The Isle of Skye is well known for having some of the best mountaineering and hiking that can be found in the UK, but along with that comes the possibility of extreme weather conditions.
