On Thursday, 2 April, Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team were called upon by Gwent Police two help locate two young walkers who became lost on the mountain above Trefil village.

The Central Beacons Team located the pair quickly, who were uninjured, and guided them back to safety.

Later in the week, the team visited Bike Park Wales to help first responders with an injured mountain bike rider. They were also called out to a pair of young people stuck in a mountainside ravine and also to Caerphilly Mountain for a walker who’d slipped and sustained a head injury.

On Thursday, 9 April, Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team were called to the Neuadd Valley of Bannau Brycheiniog where a walker was suffering with breathing difficulties on the Neuadd Ridge. Thankfully, their companions were able to slowly walk them off the ridge and into the valley where the team met them and, working together with a paramedic from the Welsh Ambulance Service, they were able to carefully walk the walker to the ambulance.

Speaking on the second week of April, a spokesperson for Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team said: “During the rest of week two the team were back to the Neuadd area for a walker with walking difficulties from a pair of problematic knees. After full assessment by one of our Remote Rescue Medics, we stretcher-carried them to the car park for their onward journey to hospital.

“Next in week two, we were at an area near Llantrisant village assisting South Wales Police with the search for a missing person, together with our four-legged friends Search and Rescue Dog Association South Wales, our drone team and colleagues from Western Beacons Mountain Rescue Team.”

In the third week of April, Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team’s callout total for the month stands at 12, which makes it 54 so far in 2026.
