A mountain rescue team in the Brecon Beacons helped two lost walkers to safety on Monday night.
Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team found the walkers “cold and tired” despite being safe and well.
Dyfed-Powys Police alerted mountain rescue to the lost hillwalkers, who were attempting the Neuadd circuit, shortly before 6pm.
Having found themselves off their intended route after dark, the walkers called for help and using phone-find technology were located in the Nant Crew valley.
After a medic carried out an assessment which established they were uninjured, the couple were given food and drink before being escorted off the mountain.
The mountain rescue team returned to base at approximately 9.30pm.
Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team said on Facebook on Monday night: “Our 6th callout of the year was shortly before 6pm this evening (Monday) when we were called by Heddlu Dyfed-Powys Police to help two hillwalkers who’d found themselves off their intended route of the Neuadd circuit.
“Once darkness set in, they did the right thing and called for help.
“Thankfully they had phone signal and using #PhoneFind technology with one of our Incident Controllers taking details from them, we soon established they were in the Nant Crew valley of the Brecon Beacons.
“Our first response hill team were soon on the mountain heading to where we thought the couple were, after a short time searching we could see their torchlight.
“Once we were with the couple our medic carried out an assessment of their condition, they were cold and tired yet thankfully uninjured. After warming them, giving food and drink, we carefully escorted them off the mountain.
“At our control vehicle they were given a warm cuppa before being reunited with their car.
“A job well done, we were back home and at our base about 9.30pm.”
