Tryfan walker dies in '100ft mountain fall'

A man whose body was found on a Snowdonia peak may have fallen 100ft after getting lost, rescuers said.

The body of the elderly walker from south west England was found by two men at Heather Terrace on Tryfan on Sunday.

Members of the Ogwen Valley mountain rescue team said they believed he fell down the mountain's North Gully on Friday after making a navigational error.

His body not found for two days because of the poor weather, they added.
