A walker who became lost in the Eryri mountains was praised by rescuers for “doing the right thing”. Proof of this came when the woman was eventually located near a “very steep” area she might have otherwise wandered into unwittingly. Aberglaslyn Mountain Rescue Team (MRT) was alerted around 1pm on Easter Sunday to reports of a person who had become disoriented and lost on boggy ground above Cwm Bychan. The valley lies above the Aberglaslyn gorge near Beddgelert. It’s known for its old pylons – the remains of the aerial ropeway built in 1927 to carry copper ore down the valley. Other industrial remains include ropeway entrances, spoil heaps and mining buildings. Using Sarloc Rescue, Aberglaslyn MRT’s coordinator was able to get an exact location for the lost explorer. “The walker had done the right thing - stayed put and called for help,” said a team spokesperson. The spokesperson added: "A small team was deployed to find the walker, carrying extra water and snacks. They were located safe and well – but not far from some very steep and broken terrain.” Join the North Wales Live Whatsapp community now As it was a hot, humid day, both the rescuers and rescuee rehydrated and refuelled before they walked off the hill. The woman was then driven to the team’s vehicle. Get all the latest Gwynedd news by signing up to our newsletter - sent every Tuesday Find the weather forecast where you live
