A Sea King rescue helicopter takes off after saving the pair

This is the dramatic moment a stranded Kent woman and her teenage son were rescued from Mount Snowdon.

An RAF helicopter was scrambled to rescue the 41-year-old woman and the boy of 17 suffering from hypothermia.

Rescuers said they were not properly equipped and did not have adequate clothing for the 3,560ft mountain - Britain's second highest - yesterday.

They were saved after another walker found the pair stranded on ice and snow after they lost their way.
