Two groups of walkers required rescue from the Glyderau range in Snowdonia on 18 November during severe winter conditions with temperatures at -9C. Both parties were poorly equipped; one had mistaken a mobile phone heat map for an actual footpath. All casualties were safely rescued by Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation.
