'Adored' nurse made tragic call to girlfriend before fatal Snowdon fall

A nurse fell to his death as "thick mist" enveloped Mount Snowdon, an inquest has heard. "Wonderful and caring" Ade Junior Ajayi, 30, was visiting north Wales with his partner Eleanor Forde.

The couple were staying with their two dogs at an Anglesey glamping site on June 6 when Mr Ajayi, an experienced hiker, decided to climb Snowdon. The trainee nurse at Montagu Hospital in Doncaster told Miss Forde he would be back by midday for them to take their dogs to the beach.

An inquest held in Caernarfon heard he called Miss Forde at around 9.30am to say he was on his way back down the mountain and was following the train tracks on the Llanberis Pass. When she had not heard from Mr Ajayi again by lunch-time, she called him but was unable to get through, North Wales Live reports.
