The couple, from Kent, were pulled from icy waters at the Four Waterfalls Walk at Brecon Beacons last week. They had been trekking during a New Year getaway.
Two bodies were found after a five-day search. Police are still working out how they got into the water.
Their families said: “We are devastated to have suffered such an immeasurable loss following the news of Rachael and Helen’s passing at just 33 and 52.
“They were such a devoted, selfless, and loving couple having had an immensely positive impact on all those they met.
“Their love for animals and dedication to caring for them so lovingly over the years made them a truly admirable credit to themselves and society.
“Their endless laughter will be forever remembered by all who had the honour to know them.
“There are no words that can express enough how highly they were both thought of by family members, friends, and colleagues.”
One of the women’s bodies was found within hours of them going into the water last Wednesday and the other was found on Saturday.
The families added in a statement: “We would like to thank all those who have provided such generous support and guidance, including the unwavering commitment of the Brecon Beacons Mountain Rescue volunteers, the police, National Police Air Support, Mid and West Wales Fire Service, National Resource Wales, the Welsh Ambulance Service and Powys County Council for helping so selflessly at such a difficult time.
“We would now like time to grieve and would ask to be given privacy in which to do so.”
Dyfed-Powys Police said the search operation was hampered by ‘high fast-flowing’ water.
Experienced hillwalker Phil Evans, 61, said: “It’s usually pretty safe up there – but like anywhere else in the Beacons there are risks.
“The water will be extremely cold at this time of year, you’re not going to survive for long and we’ve had a lot of rain so there will be rapids forming.”
Inquests will be held at a later date.
Tribit’s powerful Bluetooth speakers are up to 52 percent off right now
There are a lot of portable Bluetooth speakers out there, but if you’re looking for something that not only has big sound but is IPX7 waterproof, your choices dwindle considerably. One company that does both of those things is Tribit, and some of its best products are on sale for up to 52 percent off at Amazon. Deals can be found on the 16W XSound Go ($30 or 41 percent off), StormBox Micro 2 ($47 instead of $70) and MaxSound Plus, now on sale for $48 or a full 52 percent off.
First on the list is the Tribit StormBox Micro 2, appearing perennially on best Bluetooth speaker lists including our own for 2022. It doesn’t stand out in terms of fidelity, but it pumps out copious amounts of volume. It’s also very portable, and the rear strap easily attaches to things like belts, backpacks and bike handlebars. It doubles as a USB-C powerbank to charge your devices in a pinch and you can wirelessly connect two for party mode or stereo sound. It supports both iOS and Android, has 12 hours of battery life and is IP67 waterproof — all for just $47 (32 percent off).
If you want to spend the bare minimum without cutting corners, the Tribit XSound Go ($30, or 41 percent off) is a great choice. Its sound is clearer and louder than other budget Bluetooth speakers and it’s small enough to slip into a laptop bag. It offers 10 hours on a charge and is IPX7-rated, so it can survive a half-hour dunking in three feet of water.
Finally, there’s the Tribit MaxSound Plus ($48, or 52 percent off). As the name suggests, it’s exceptionally loud with 24W of power, while offering driving bass, adjustable EQ and more. You also get an exceptional 20 hours of battery life and again, that IPX7 waterproof rating. Tribit is also offering discounts on wireless earbuds, kids headphones, shower speakers and more.
