On Saturday, December 16, Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team were called out at 8:45pm to locate two missing walkers in the Brecon Beacons after a phone call had suggested that they were lost.

The team identified the walkers' car and had it confirmed by the police. From there they were able to identify potential routes that the walkers had taken.

A spokesperson for the team said: "While the searches continued, the two walkers returned to their vehicle under their own steam, safe, well and unharmed, after a little bit of an ‘epic’ and blissfully unaware of the genuine concerns that had been raised for their well-being.

"Visibility was poor and it was a tad breezy on the tops last night. Once the ‘missing’ walkers were on their way home, and team members off the hill we returned to base to sort vehicles and kit ready for the next one before everyone head off to their beds."

The callout came to an end at 4:00am.
