Snowdon walkers need to prepare, mountain rescuers warn

Mountain rescuers in Snowdonia clocked up 750 hours in work responding to a record number of callouts last month.

Many of the 34 alerts in August could have been avoided if walkers had taken precautions, Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team said.

Secretary George Jones said people need to be better prepared before they try to walk up Snowdon.
