Just two days earlier, Brecon Mountain Rescue Team were called to assist two people who had got very cold and wet in the Fan Dringarth area. Following their call for assistance, team members located them and walked them off the hill where they were rewarmed and escorted to their vehicle.

In their fourth callout in three days, the team were called to the Devil’s Bridge area on Tuesday, 7 April, following concerns for a farmer who hadn’t returned as planned. The team discovered them down a steep bank, and used ropes and stretchers to extract them to safety.
