In a tragic development, two bodies have been found in the Eryri mountain range, also known as Snowdonia, during an extensive search operation for two men, aged 19 and 20, who had been reported missing. The search was initiated after concerns for their welfare were raised to North Wales Police on Wednesday, leading to a coordinated effort involving multiple rescue teams, including the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team, the Aberglaslyn Mountain Rescue Team, the RAF Mountain Rescue Service, and HM Coastguard.

The search focused on the Yr Wyddfa peak (Mount Snowdon), a popular hiking destination in the region. Sadly, the North Wales Police confirmed that the bodies of the two men were subsequently located and recovered during these operations. Following the identification of the deceased, their families have been notified, and statements of condolence have been issued by rescuers, emphasizing the emotional toll such incidents take on the community and the families affected.

Jurgen Dissmann, the Chair of the Llanberis Mountain Rescue Team, expressed heartfelt condolences to the families and loved ones of the deceased. This tragedy highlights not only the risks associated with mountain activities but also the dedication shown by rescue teams in responding to missing persons cases. The community is rallying to support the families during this difficult time, as they process their loss.
