Walker with hypothermia saved in huge nine-hour rescue mission in Snowdonia

A walker in Snowdonia was saved in a huge rescue effort that lasted nine hours.

Mountain rescue teams were alerted to a group of four walkers in difficulty on Cadair Idris on Saturday (February 12) afternoon and a rescue operation involving more than 30 volunteers and a search and rescue helicopter was launched, North Wales Live reports.

South Snowdonia Mountain Rescue said the group had continued up the mountain after other members of their party had turned back due to poor visibility, strong winds, heavy rain and hail storms.
