Concerns raised over an apparently poorly equipped male with dog walking up Cader Idris on the edge of darkness. The gentleman with his dog were heading up the Minffordd path and were encountered at the Slate Bridge at around 4:00 p.m. The Informant called police as she felt he looked “down beat” and with the limited equipment he was carrying it raised concerns in her mind. Team call handlers felt that there was no indication that the male was in need of assistance at this point. He may well have had a torch in a coat pocket, and may just be taking a short dog walk rather than undertaking a mountain epic. Further information indicating the risk of potential harm to the man would be required to initiate a search.
