Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team attended to a female walker on Caerphilly Mountain who’d slipped and sustained an open fracture of her ankle on Saturday, 28 March.

The team were called out at around lunchtime with Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust and Medserve Wales.

With very careful handling and stretcher carrying the team soon had her in the back of an ambulance and on her way to hospital.

The next day, on Sunday morning at 9am the team visited Neuadd Valley in Bannau Brycheiniog for an individual with a strained hip and leg problem high up on the valley’s ridge line.

After full assessment by one of the team’s Medical Technicians, the lady was helped slowly and carefully to the roadside for her onward transport to hospital.

A spokesperson for the rescue team said: “2025 was our busiest year in our history for being called out and we’re even busier at the moment than we were at the this time last year. We await with interest to see what happens next into quarter two!”

The team has been called out 40 times so far this year, with 33 of those being full deployments of team members.
