Brewood father and daughter in mountain rescue

A father and daughter from Brewood in South Staffordshire were rescued by an RAF helicopter crew and 50 volunteers searching on the ground after taking a wrong turning in the mountains in atrocious weather.

Kerry Davies and her 78-year-old father Bill, told today how they were exhausted and dehydrated after walking through bogs and being battered by 100mph winds on the summit of Cadair Berwyn, near Oswestry. The pair said they had even feared for their lives.

They took a wrong turn and ended up on a mountain ridge instead of back at their starting point at Pistyll Rhaeadr.
