Missing Person in Barmouth: another early start

18/7/2014

 
Another early start for call-handlers at both Aberdyfi and South Snowdonia Search & Rescue Team with a 3:30 a.m. call regarding a missing person near Barmouth.

The male had been reported missing at around 9:30 p.m. the previous evening, and having conducted a local search with no result, North Wales Police officers decided to extend the search to the steep ground above the town and requested assistance from Mountain Rescue Services. The call came through initially to the Aberdyfi Team, and discussions on the best approach were conducted between team leaders from both Aberdyfi and South Snowdonia Team (in whose area Barmouth falls). Searching at night presents extra hazards to rescue workers, both in terms of their movements on the hill and the knock-on effects of driving to and away from incidents with little or no sleep. Having weighed up the circumstances, including the equipment carried by the missing person and the mild prevailing weather conditions, it was decided that the South Snowdonia Team would initiate a search at 7:00 a.m. As rescuers gathered, the missing person turned up, safe and well at around 7:30 a.m.
