Incident Reports 2025

A group of three women became separated when they encountered deep snow. One of them ultimately made it back to the valley bottom alone and was located there. The other two were located and extracted via Coastguard Helicopter from Caernarfon and transported to Ambleside where they were reunited with their third party member and rewarmed and checked by paramedics before heading home

Sub-zero conditions and deep, fresh snow made for quite challenging conditions for all

Flashing lights were reported by campsite staff (something they’re familiar with, but these gave them cause for concern)
