At 9:30 p.m. Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team were made aware of a missing walker on Cadair Idris. The man had last been seen at around 5:00 p.m. when he became separated from his wife and daughter, who descended the mountain via the Minffordd path and raised the alarm.
With encroaching darkness and deteriorating weather the Team was put on standby while call-handlers did their best to get more details. With no clear picture of basic information such as what side of the mountain he might be on, and the phone of both the man and his wife going straight to voicemail, the team braced itself for a long night. Fortunately, at around 10:00 p.m., just as the first Team members were heading out to make a sweep of the roads, the man turned up and the team were stood down.
