At approximately 3:30pm on Tuesday 15th October the Team received notification of a group of walkers who had become lost and disorientated on Cadair Idris. On leaving the summit shelter into poor visibility, the pair followed another group but before long lost sight of the other walkers and other visual reference points due to the dense clouds.
Unsure of their position or route and having been caught exposed in a storm the pair called for help. Fortunately the pair managed to retrace their steps back to the summit shelter from where team call handlers were able to use phone find technology to assist them back along the Minffordd Path.
Due to the poor weather conditions, limited visibility and impending darkness, team members were dispatched to intercept the walkers along their route off the mountain.
Once together, team RRMTs checked the pair over and provided warm clothing and food before escorting them down out of the cloud and safely back to the carpark by 09:20pm.
