How did emergency services get there.........

You've got to be quite concerned about the situation before that particular spot becomes a suitable landing spot in an emergency.

Well into the "land immediately" bracket.

Well played.

Ah, happy days of flying around mountain bowls and parking on ridges up in the hills.

Still glad I didn't go SAR though.

Glad all are OK - good job they didn't try to carry the snag home by the looks of it....
