At around 5:15 p.m., and while a number of the Team were already deployed on a missing person search in Aberystwyth, call handlers from the Team were made aware of two walkers and their two dogs stranded in low cloud and rain at the top of cliffs on Cader Idris.
Using the SARLOC system, the Team was able obtain an accurate location for the pair. As a Rescue party of Team volunteers was deployed up the hill, a call handler, knowing the location and the terrain, was able to give verbal instruction to move the pair to safer ground and then to steer them towards the approaching rescuers.
Having met up, the walkers were checked over and walked down off the hill, with everyone safely back at the car park by 10.p.m.
