Lost Walker above Llanegryn

28/12/2017

 
At around 6:45 p.m. The Team was made aware of a woman lost on a walk between Llwyngwril & Llanegryn.
In an attempt to locate her, Team call-handlers sent a SARLOC message to the woman's phone and attempted to ring both the woman and her husband. Both numbers rang-out without being answered or going to answerphone, and there was no response to the SARLOC message.
North Wales Police (NWP) were re-contacted to update them about the situation, and to recheck the given phone numbers. During this conversation, another NWP operator received a call to inform that the woman had found a farm, and the husband was on his way to collect her. The Team was stood down by NWP. 

Lost Couple on Cader Idris

3/12/2017

 
At around 4:30 p.m., Call Handlers from Aberdyfi Search & Rescue Team were made aware of a couple lost on Cader Idris

The couple, both from Cannock and in their 20's, had started their trip at the Minffordd car-park and summited the mountain earlier in the day. When making their return they became disorientated and descended the the wrong side of the mountain. Trying to correct their mistake, they quickly found themselves in marshy heathland, but fortunately, just as darkness fell, they found themselves with a good mobile signal and called for help.

The position of the walkers was established using the SARLOC protocol, a process that enabled their smartphone to send locational information directly to our Team computer. With help from the Farmer at Maes Coch farm, team volunteers were quickly on scene and the pair, cold but unharmed, were walked off the mountain and returned to their car.

All were safely off the mountain by 7:30 p.m.
