The team were alerted to a group of 3 males lost in bad weather
on Cadair Idris at 16:50. The group were poorly equipped and did not have a map
although luckily for them they had located one of the new Snowdonia National
Park Grid Reference markers on a style which is part of the parks mountain
safety initiative. The team
quickly deployed in poor weather conditions and located the party who were very
cold, they provided warm clothing and walked the 3 down before dropping them
back to their car.
This was the first time the Grid Reference markers had been used
in a rescue on Cadair Idris and something which massively aided in the rescue.
Yet again the team would urge all venturing out into the mountains to ensure
they are properly equipped and have the skills to navigate in the
terrain.
