The group of five, who were all students at the University of Chester, split up for privacy and religious reasons as the sisters, who could not swim, headed for a pool upstream on the Afon Cwm Llan river.
Well, that will please DEFRA I'm sure.
Oh, wait...
The men later called out for the sisters, from Rotherham in South Yorkshire, but received no reply. When they reached the pools they noticed the women’s shoes and personal belongings by the water’s edge. They later discovered Hajra, a married mother of two, floating face down in her red dress. Caernarfon coroner’s court heard that they managed to pull an unconscious Hajra on to the riverbank but were unable to find Haleema.
Maybe not, I think the authorities were hoping the minorities would survive the experience ... and maybe the two would have, if not for their religion.
Hajra Zahid, 29, and her sibling Haleema, 25, were pulled from pools on the Watkin Path, which leads to the summit of Snowdon. They had visited the picturesque wild swimming site and its waterfall at Eryri (Snowdonia) national park, in the Nant Gwynant area of Gwynedd, on 11 June 2025 with three male friends.
Concluding the deaths were accidental, Riley said the sisters had drowned after they were unable to swim to safety. She said: “I extend my sincere condolences to their friends and family. This is an extremely tragic case and my thoughts remain with them.” Riley also “urged caution” to the public about the dangers of entering such pools.
I'm not sure it's a warning that needs to be given to most people...
It's sad when deaths occur, but, perhaps, if their religion caused them to 'split up, these two women would still be alive. One also has to question the logic, or lack of it, of two non-swimmers deciding to have a swim in wild water.

Delete"split up for privacy and religious reasons as the sisters, who could not swim, headed for a pool upstream "
ReplyDeleteIt is a long time since I walked that path, but I seem to recall that the pools and the waterfalls are pretty much in public view from the path, which runs beside or slightly above them. (I am open to correction.) So, the two sisters wanted privacy from their "friends" but did not worry about privacy from strangers? Odd.

Very!
DeleteJohn Tee, given that they remained clothed and couldn’t swim, I'd suggest it was more about protecting the women from the censure (or worse) of family elders should it become known that they had remained in proximity to male companions in a state of undress.
ReplyDeleteA religion which does so much to lose followers deserve not to have any
