At around 4:00 p.m. on Mon 5th Sept, call handlers from the Team were made aware of two men unable to move from the summit of Cader Idris. The brothers, both in their 30’s had walked up the mountain from Minffordd and had reached the summit hut in fairly poor weather, with strong wind and low cloud. However, when they came to depart from the hut, they were unable to identify the way off in the mist. Having retreated to the hut and called for help, the pair had a cold wait as two Team volunteers made their way up the mountain. The pair were escorted down to Ty Nant where the Team vehicle met the party a returned the brothers to their car. Everyone was off back at their vehicles and heading home by 8:00 p.m.
