MacGillycuddy Reeks warning after pair rescued

Earlier this month, after a number of call-outs, the team issued a strong warning to hill walkers about the danger of being caught on the mountains in changing weather conditions and shortening daylight hours.

Two Australian visitors, who were not injured, were at the centre of the latest callout and raised the alarm at 4.30pm on Wednesday. They were lost in a remote area on the eastern side of the Reeks, as they descended, and used a mobile phone to call for help.
