At 4:30 p.m. the Team was made aware of an abandoned tent on Fegla Fawr.
The informant visited 7 weeks ago. He saw this tent and also saw a man, who appeared to be a bird-watcher carrying binoculars, in the vicinity of the tent but did not speak to the man and cannot be sure he was associated with the tent. Tent now has a lot of litter around it and no sign of a recent fire. The informant did not open the tent. Concerns were raised for well being of any occupant.

A discussion was had with North Wales Police over what response was requested from MR, and it was agreed that an urgent night-time search was disproportionate to the situation. The initial intention was to send a PCSO to investigate in daylight but the team call-handler dealing with the call, and living nearby, offered to investigate the tent the following morning. The tent was found to have been abandoned for some weeks with litter, foam mat, duffle coat and tent having been chewed by animals. There was no signs of recent habitation. The tent and litter were cleared from site by the Team volunteer.

Concerns raised over an apparently poorly equipped male with dog walking up Cader Idris on the edge of darkness. The gentleman with his dog were heading up the Minffordd path and were encountered at the Slate Bridge at around 4:00 p.m. The Informant called police as she felt he looked "down beat" and with the limited equipment he was carrying it raised concerns in her mind.

Team call handlers felt that there was no indication that the male was in need of assistance at this point. He may well have had a torch in a coat pocket, and may just be taking a short dog walk rather than undertaking a mountain epic. Further information indicating the risk of potential harm to the man would be required to initiate a search.​

At around 6:30 p.m. the Team was alerted to a missing walker on Cader Idris

The female holiday-maker had left her accommodation late to climb the mountain. Being poorly equipped and inexperienced, the woman became lost and rang for assistance as night fell.

As the Team was gathering information , a local farmer drove onto the hill on a quad-bike and quickly located the woman.
