At around 7:00 p.m., and while a party of volunteers was already out helping Aberglaslyn Mountain Rescue Team with an incident near Cnicht, the Team was called to assist a party of ten walkers lost on Cader Idris. The group was able to identify their location by means of one of the grid reference discs attached to stiles on the range, and were advised by the Police call-handler to hold their position until contacted by mountain rescue. With knowledge of their exact position, a Team call-handler was able to give them precise instructions on how to proceed, and checked with them at 15 min intervals to assess progress. A party of 3 Team volunteers headed up the path to meet the group and escort them down the final stages. During this phase the hill party encountered another group making slow progress due to a party member with a knee injury. Both parties were safely escorted off the hill.
