Saturday 30 May was also day 1 of our collaboration with Rhondda Cynon Taf Council to help rid the Bwlch Mountain of the “river of rubbish”, which you may have seen or heard about. ![]()

At midday we were called by Dyfed-Powys Police to assist a walker who’d sustained a head injury after slipping on the footpath from Pont ar Daf to Pen Y Fan. A few team members left the removal of rubbish event in one of our response vehicles but were stood down whilst en route after one of our members and a member of Brecon Mountain Rescue Team arrived at the car park to find Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust (WAST) Paramedics dealing with the injured person. They’d been able to walk themselves to the car park. ![]()

At 3.15pm we were back out to a call to assist WAST with a child who had fallen from a tree in Forest Fawr near Castle Coch. WAST Paramedics arrived a few minutes ahead of us and were able to deal with. As we were standing down the next request was received from the First Responders at Bike Park Wales, asking for our help with a stretcher carry to the awaiting ambulance of a MTB Rider with pelvic and femur injuries. ![]()
