Meanwhile earlier in the day North East Wales Search and Rescue were called upon to assist with a male walker on Moel Famau who was suffering a leg injury.
Luckily for the injured man the search and rescue team were able to drive Landrovers up to the summit of Moel Famau and retrieve the injured male.
The SAR team posted a video on Facebook showing the team at the summit, administering first aid, before loading the male onto a stretcher and into a waiting Land Rover to then make a slow and careful descent down to the bottom, meeting Welsh Ambulance Service to hand the casualty over.
