Mountain rescuers was called to help the stranded animals, with the team joking that the sheep were believed to be from Baaath
Mountain rescuers helped two sheep stranded on a Welsh cliff. A local farmer called assistance from the Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation (OVMRO), which attended the incident. In a humorous statement, OVMRO, who kept their identities anonymous, said: “The team was contacted by a local farmer to say he had spotted two walkers (believed to be from Baaath) stuck on the cliffs by his farm.
“Without mobile phones they couldn’t call for help, and we were unable to use @Sarloc/Phonefind so their location was a bit wooly, but at least they had warm clothing for their overnight stay.
“With a low team turnout, the team leader bleated for more help and [shepherded] six team members to the base of the crag.” For the biggest stories in Wales first, sign up to our daily newsletter here.
The post continued: “Knowing our scared casualties would probaably jump away from a descending rescewer, ropes were thrown down and Jed was raised up towards them.
“The youngest casualty did indeed jump some two metres into Jed’s arms and it was shear luck they were caught.
“Mum sensibly stayed where she was and was rescued not long after and she lambasted her offspring for jumping.
“Once on safe ground they unbelievably ran away without even a thank ewe.”
