Callouts Update:It’s 7 days since our last update, since when we’ve attended 8 incidents:Thursday 13 August: An afternoon of 3 incidents at the Waterfalls area of Bannau Brycheiniog - Brecon Beacons - National Park.A walker reported as collapsed and unwell near Clun Gwyn waterfall, a walker with a finger injury sustained during a fall on their walk, a couple we found off their intended walking route who we reunited with their vehicle at Gwaun Hepste car park. Monday 17 August: Another afternoon out, this time assisting our First Responder friends and WAST Paramedics at Bike Park Wales with two separate injuries, a suspected broken hip and an ankle. While we were finishing there it was back to the waterfalls for a reported ankle injury. As we were arriving we received a message that the injured person had been able to get back to the car park all safe and we stood down. Later on, at 10pm we were back there for two walkers reported lost along the 4 Falls Trail. We quickly located them and got them safely back to their vehicle, back to base shortly before midnight.Wednesday 19 August: Waterfalls area again, this time a walker with an ankle injury after slipping on loose stones and unable to weight bear. Our Remote Rescue Medics treated as a suspected broken ankle, splinted it and the team carried the walker out of the gorge on one our stretchers for onward journey to hospital. Terrific joint working throughout all incidents this week with Dyfed-Powys Police and Welsh Ambulance Services University NHS Trust (WAST).2026 so far: 143 requests for help, 130 deployments. Alongside all the incidents we’ve attended, our usual training and other events continue and there’ll be a separate update on those soon.
