The South Eastern Mountain Rescue Association has issued some advice to walkers and hikers heading into 2019.
The group were called to the Galtee Mountains for the second time in 3 days yesterday evening.
Three walkers misjudged their timing and left their descent from the mountain too late.
They got enveloped in fog and darkness and became disorientated – and contacted SEMRA at around 5:30pm.
The group were rescued and down from the mountain by around 9:30pm last night.
SEMRA’s Jimmy Barry has this advice for those hiking in January…
