A woman, a child and a hamster have been rescued from a mountain in South Wales.

A spokesperson for the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team said:

“At tea time today we were contacted by Heddlu Dyfed-Powys Police to go to the assistance of a mother and her 11yo daughter visiting on holiday from the London area.

“They had embarked on a walk from Dinas Rock to Sgwd Yr Eira but found that it took a little longer than hoped and on the way back the lady was struggling to continue, with them both being wet and cold, and darkness setting in they rightly called for assistance.

“Fortunately, in phone signal one of our Deputy Team Leaders was able to speak to them and their location determined with What3Words, confirmed via PhoneFind.

“A hasty party was soon on their way and met up with them quickly. Once warmed up a bit they were in a position to be walked off the hill.

“All back safe and well, including their little furry companion, a hamster called Frappuccino, and none the worse for the experience he and his humans were reunited with their car to make their way back to their accommodation.

“We hope they enjoy the remainder of their holiday in the area.”
