Brecon Mountain Rescue Team has experienced yet another busy period over the last month, attending a variety of callouts.

On Saturday, 14 March, the team were called out to to assist Emergency Medical Retrieval and Transfer Service Cymru (EMRTS) after a motorcyclist had gone off the road and down some banking. EMRTS and the Welsh Ambulance Service took care of the casualty whilst Brecon Mountain Rescue Team members stretchered the casualty to an awaiting ambulance.

In the following week, on Thursday, 19 March, the team was called to the Carmarthen area in the search for a missing person. Whilst the team was en route to assist Western Beacons Mountain rescue Team, the person was found safe and well by Police and the teams were stood down.

The team also assisted a casualty who was struggling to walk in the Neuadd Valley on Sunday, 29 March. Their assistance was called upon by Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team. The casualty was struggling to walk but managed to make their way off the hill with support and assistance by the Team.

On Friday, 3 April, Dyfed-Powys Police called upon Brecon Mountain Rescue Team to assist with a road traffic collision near Storey Arms where a car had left the road. A spokesperson for Brecon Mountain Rescue Team said: “We assisted with stretchering the casualties, who were shaken but thankfully had no significant injuries, to a waiting ambulance and the care of a Welsh Ambulance Services Trust ambulance.

“As always, make sure you are #adventuresmart before you venture out. Ask yourself: am I confident I have the knowledge and skills for the day? Do I know what the WEATHER will be like? and do I have the right GEAR?

“We wish all our casualties a speedy recovery.”
