​Shortly before 6:00 p.m. the Team was requested to assist in the search for two paddlers missing on Lake Vyrnwy.

The two stand-up paddle-boarders were part of a group of 8, and had been reportedly swept over a weir. As more information emerged, it was found to be the Afon Vyrnwy rather than the lake, and the weir in question was near Dolanog.

Water rescue parties from both Aberdyfi and South Snowdonia Teams were called out to help North East Wales MRT in the search, but were quickly stood down as news came in that, having been swept a mile or more downstream, the two casualties had managed to self-rescue and were safe and well.

At around 12:30 p.m. the Team was requested to assist in the rescue of a sick mountain-biker in the hills above Furnace.

The 28 year old man had fallen from his bike and was thought to be having significant cardiac problems.

​As the Team started to mount a response, the call-out was stood down when news came in that the EMRTS helicopter had attended, and was transporting the man to hospital care.

Shortly after 12:30 p.m. call-handlers from the Team were made aware of a man stuck on steep-ground on Cader Idris.

​The man had been scrambling solo in the area of Cyfrwy Arête but had lost confidence and, being unable to proceed either up or down, called for assistance.

With the prospect of only a few hours of daylight to access the site with equipment and effect a technical rope rescue, the assitance of Coastguard Helicopter Rescue936 was requested to provide uplift to the top of the crag.

As the helicopter arrived on scene, the crew took the view that they could access the man directly. The winchman was lowered and was able to pick-off the stranded climber.

​Everyone was back at their vehicles shortly before 3:00 p.m.

Shortly after 5:30 p.m., Team call-handlers were made aware of two walkers lost on Cader Idris.

The two women and a dog had been attempting a circular walk around the mountain, but had become disorientated in the dark and found themselves lost above steep ground. Using Phonefind protocols, their position was established as being on Gau graig summit above the crags of Tal y Llyn pass.

Parties of Team volunteers were dispatched to reach the walkers, who were cold but otherwise uninjured, and the group was escorted down through the crags to safety. 

Everyone was off the hill by 8:45 p.m.

Shortly before 4:00 p.m., Call-handlers from the Team were made aware of lost walker on Cader Idris.

The man, in his 30's and from Essex, had spent the day walking on the mountain, but had become disorientated in the low cloud.

Using phone-find protocols, the man's position on steep ground above Llyn Cau was established, and further conversations with the walker established that he was stuck and unable to proceed.

A hasty party was dispatched to make contact with the man, but were unable to reach him with the equipment carried. As a second party brought up more technical kit, the possibility of air-support was explored, although the low cloud made this not an option.

The walker was eventually retrieved to safer ground and walked down off the mountain. Everyone was safely off the hill by 11:30 p.m.

At 11:45 a.m. Team  call -handlers were alerted to personal items and property found close to Llyn Cau on Cader Idris. 

Following discussions with the informant who found the equipment, and with North Wales Police, it remained inconclusive as to whether or not the owner of the items was missing or had come to any harm. 

With little to more to go on and to prevent possible further reports for the same items; a team member who was out walking on the hill was dispatched to collect the items. The property was taken to Dolgellau Police station and handed over to NWP officers. 

The Team stood down at 16:30.

​Shortly before 4:45 p.m., call-handlers from the Team were made aware of three adults lost and benighted on Cader Idris.

Following a navigational error, the party had come down the wrong side of the mountain and whilst trying to resolve their issue had run out of daylight. Recognising their plight they called for mountain rescue assistance.

Using smart-phone protocols, the Team was quickly able to locate the party, and with the Team on standby, they were given instructions on how to proceed down off the mountain. Regular checks on position meant that their progress could be monitored, and a taxi was arranged to meet them off the hill and transport them to their car on the other side of the mountain.

At 4:30 p.m.  Team Call-handlers were made aware of two lost walkers on Cader Idris. The couple had started their day from Minffordd. On their descent from the summit, the pair sought advice and directions on the best way back down to the carpark from passing walkers. The route advice given was either incorrect or misinterpreted, but this led to the pair losing the path and ending up on  the crags of Gau Graig. Poorly equipped and unable to continue due to failing light the couple called for help.
Using phone-find technology the Team was able to pinpoint the couple's position and deployed a hill party to their location. Team volunteers assisted the pair down the steep ground / crags before descending back to the road and a waiting team vehicle. The couple were then transported back to their car at Minfordd.
All team members were safely off the hill at 8:00 p.m.

Shortly before midday call-handlers from the Team were made aware of a man with an injured ankle on Cader Idris, in virtually identical weather conditions and a few hundred meters away from yesterday's call-out.

The solo man, in his 50's, had lost footing in the high wind and poor visibility and had sustained a suspected broken ankle. In an exposed position high on the mountain, he also began to get very cold. Passing walkers provided clothing and shelter as the Team initiated its response.

A hasty party was deployed to quickly locate and stabilise the casualty, while a second wave of volunteers gathered the heavier equipment to deal with the evacuation. Although the casualty was well into cloud, the level of the cloud-base meant that the Team was able to make use of Coastguard helicopter Rescue 936 to lift people and equipment part-way up the mountain and so speed up the rescue considerably.

The casualty was treated for his injury, and insulated as much as possible before being stretched down the slope to the helicopter drop-off position. Rescue 936 was then able to uplift the injured man and transport to Ysbyty Gwynedd for further assessment and treatment. The man's dog, also cold and anxious because of the ordeal, was carried down off the mountain by one of the walkers who initially attended the casualty. She was handed over to injured man's son at Ty Nant car-park.

Everyone was safely off the hill by 5:00 p.m.

At around 2:30 p.m.  call-handlers from the Team were made aware of a family group lost on Cader Idris.

The party, a father and 9 year old son, along with their 8 month old dog, had been attempting to reach the summit, but had turned back because of the extremely poor weather conditions. However whilst retracing their steps they missed the route down off the mountain and found themselves lost in low cloud and high wind amongst the scree and boulder-fields on the slopes of Cyfrwy. Realising the difficulty they were in, and their proximity to the cliff faces, they called for assistance.

With an approximate location determined from the initial request for help, a small party of Team volunteers made their way into the area and quickly located the party, aided greatly by the barking of the dog. A little shaken by the experience but otherwise uninjured, the group was given some food and extra clothing before being walked down off the mountain.

Everyone was safely off the hill by 6:15 p.m.
