A VISITOR from overseas was rescued after becoming stranded on the highest mountain in Southern Snowdonia.
On January 4, at about 12pm, Aberdyfi Search and Rescue Team were made aware of a walker lost and snow-bound on Cader Idris.
A spokesperson for the rescue team said: "The 41-year-old man, an overseas visitor stranded locally with relatives by the current lockdown, got lost on his way down from the summit and found himself struggling in deep snow well away from his stated route.
"Very shortly after having received the call-out, the man was, by chance, encountered by a team-member already out exercising on the mountain.
"Cold, but otherwise uninjured, the man was escorted down off the mountain, where he was collected by relatives."
