Thrill fans who search for the latest hidden landscape hotspots on social media are putting their lives at risk, warning the mountain rescue teams.

Highlighted by one case BBC Wales SOS Extreme RescueA young couple used the Tikokok video to research the North Wales World Heritage Site’s part.

But it ended with Leeds with Nathanial and Charlie “hanging for dear life” – high in a mine on a collapse, with high, blowing with a storm.

Darlun/BBC Cymru Wales two pairs are sitting high in a slate mine. All have their back for the camera - with a couple on the right - a young man with a hood gray and white coat and small blue rooksac with short brown hair. Her arm is around a woman's waist, with long golden hair and a dark down style coat. Next to her right, there is another woman, who has silver hair, wearing a deep coat. A man with a blue and black jacket and a small rooksack is wrapped in his arm behind his neck. There is a drop in front of them - and a wall of slate rock rises on the other side of the drop, with high hills in the distance — Nathaniel and Charlie entered the mine with two friends – but later stuck alone on a rock’s face

“We use social media to see all these amazing places, and then we find out how we are going to get them,” the delivery driver Nathaniel said, who met the trainee nurse Charlie in the hospital, where both of them work.

Charlie said, “We get up and say ‘Oh, we are going here. It is easy all the time.”

He left for Eri National Park for a new adventure work with two other friends, but Charlie was still unaware of the final destination.

Charlie said, “Nathaniel said that he has some plans for us. They will not show us Tiktok, so it was a complete surprise.”

This surprise was deeply hidden in the historic dinorvig quarry in Guended – which was the second largest slate mine in the world when it was opened more than 200 years ago.

It is a cycle of paths, tunnels and mines, which is set on huge huge roofs sliced in the mountains watching the lalbarbis on the edge of all the national parks.

It was closed in 1969, and was named as a new part of a new UNESCO World Heritage Site In 2021.

Most mines are privately owned and officially closed, with no public access.

It is dotted with warning signs, fences and closed gates.

But it has not stopped becoming a magnet for courageous people, especially rock climbers.

Those well -equipped and experienced games enthusiasts are typically tolerated in the mine.

However, since the explosion on social media, the location has also attracted thousands of less experienced visitors, often unaware of the dangers hidden in the mountains of old work and slate debris.

only recently, A huge rock slide camera was captured in the mineAs thousands of tons of slate Rock peeled away from one of the faces on one roof, where Nathaniel and Charlie were led.

“When we arrived there, a lagoon, blue, crystal was like clean water. We saw the weight of the caves, and then we really wondered, a hidden waterfall,” Charlie explained.

“It was very beautiful.”

Nathaniel said that he had climbed very high in the mine and was enjoying the day.

“Then, as we were getting down, when everything really deteriorated,” he said.

“Whatever we stood, it was just falling away.

“I ‘was like Charlie, I could not think of one way down, one of us was seriously injured without.”

While two of his friends in the group found a way, Nathaniel and Charlie found themselves stranded.

They were left with only one option – 999 to dial and ask for help.

This invited out the UK’s busiest Mountain rescue team to save.

Llanberis Mountains Rescue Team tops the league for all calls in Wales and England with more than 300 rescues “shouts” in 2024.

Team member Dave Murray said, “Surely there was a possibility of injuring himself for him if he was trying to move from where he was trying to move,” said the team member Dave Murray.

Add that a nominated storm was now feeling itself, the couple’s prediction was deteriorating for minutes.

Nathaniel says he was lost for words because he was saved from Quarry Cliff Face

Nathaniel said, “We had 70mph winds. Slat pieces fluttering from above. The wind flying on our face caused a little cut on us.”

Charlie said, “We were in such an open area, it was cold. Obviously it was scared – and we were holding for dear life.”

But there was relief when the rescue team finally reached them, and a series of rope used to safely to remove them from the face of the mine.

“I have constantly found on my head that I killed almost my best friend,” Nathanial said.

“I didn’t get the word to apologize.”

As Mountain Rescue England & WalesThe body that oversees rescue teams in two countries, the number of call-outs for young people has been a dangerous jump.

In 2019, 166 calls included between 18 and 24 years of age.

Rapidly ahead five years, and the figure is at 314 – an increase of 90%.

It has led Mountain Rescue Teams To repeatedly warns about following social media postsBecause they face pressure to deal with increasing calls for help.

“I have seen videos of those who make it easy. But someone is watching the video – for them – it can be beyond their boundaries,” said Dave Murray of Lalberis Mountain Rescue, as in the case of Nathanial and Charlie.

“They have read about a particular route to follow, and they have just taken the wrong turn, and perhaps not realized what will be included in that route.

“Hopefully, they will take it as a learning experience.”

Charlie said that those texts were clear, adding: “If I have taken anything away from whatever happened, then I would say to take the right gear, know our limits and research.”
