Although there is a bit of a stretch in the evening darkness fell quickly and thick fog descended on Galtee Mor.

The walker unsure of their position called did the right thing and called for help.

Team members responded to the Black Road trail head and were transported up to the cairn in the team Land Rovers.

Team members set out on foot from there to the walker's location, conditions underfoot were quite slippy and icy and the dense fog made navigation difficult.
