Walkers rescued on Mt Wellington 29/9

Does anyone know the story behind the very short article on page 2 of Thursday's Mercury about 12 walkers being rescued on Wednesday from Wellington by helicopter? The article made it sound as though they were just a bit tired and cold and may have telephoned for help!

I heard a radio report on this. I might be wrong but I think they were stranded in the car park. Too much snow to drive back down.

What, is it rescue season or something?

Maybe Oll.
Perhaps we should make the most of it and do a trip to one of the 3 P'S?? Bag the peak then get a ride out!!

How about Vanishing Falls? "I got snowed in at the car park"
