Bishops Finger:
Obviously sad....why didn't they check the water depth beforehand.....

I thought that too - it's not often now people don't have a mobile phone although signal can be rough in some areas

Deepest sympathy with the family

Llanigraham:
My deepest sympathy to the family, but I have to ask why they were on their own, especially knowing what the weather forecast was for the weekend.

And MissRoadRange, in these parts of Mid Wales mobile phone coverage is often nonexistant. On Strata you can't even see any civilisation.

I don't think they were trying to ford it.  They rolled off the track into it, according to the video interview.
