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.

At around 3:00 p.m. Team call-handlers were made aware of a lost walker on Cader Idris.

The walker had reached the summit of the mountain and had started her descent but became disorientated and unsure of her route and location. Poor weather high on the mountain meant she was reluctant to try retracing her steps and so she called for help. Using Phone-Find technology call handlers were able to pinpoint the walker's position and guide he onto a principal route off the mountain. Once back on course,  her progress was monitored until she made it safely back down onto the road at around 4:45 p.m.

Shortly before 7:00 p.m., Call-Handlers from the Team were made aware of an overdue walker on Cader Idris.

The man had been walking with his father on the mountain during the day. At around 1:30 p.m. the father had decided to turn back to the car whilst the son opted to carry on with his walk.

As darkness fell, and there was still no sign of the son back at the car-park, the alarm was raised.

As Team volunteers started to check likely alternative routes down from the mountain, news came through that the man had been located and the Team was stood down just before 8:00 p.m.

​Shortly after 8:00 p.m. the Team was requested by Dyfed Powys Police to assist in the recovery of a body found by near Machynlleth.

The man's body was located by Police assets involved in a missing person search. The body was carried by stretcher to the roadside and passed on the the care of the Police and Undertaker.

Everyone was off the hill by 11:15 p.m.

The Team was once again deployed to assist in the ongoing search for a missing man near Machynlleth.

Analysis of the evidence had indicated fresh areas of potential interest, and the Team was tasked to search the areas around these targets. 

The man was not found, and the search remains ongoing.
